Abstract

The rechargeable power source LiB-AID E500 was developed by combining a lithium-ion battery and an inverter unit to create a power source that can support various types of electrical equipment used in everyday life.The goals for this product were a design and ease of use that can appeal to a wide range of users. The use of inverter technology provides an electrical performance that enables a high-quality power supply as well as parallel and assist operation support for electrical equipment with high-starting power. In addition, a lightweight resin full-cover configuration using a monocoque frame structure achieves a compact and lightweight form while at the same time securing strength. Furthermore, enhancement of the cooling structure efficiency and optimization of the fan layout realized a high level of quietness.
