Can I use QIKPAC batteries in soft furnishings – will it get hot?
The Power Supply Unit (PSU), when working, and the QIKPAC Battery, when charging, will get warm (max 122F degrees). Please ensure that air can circulate the majority of their surfaces, rather than having insulation touching all their outer surfaces completely.
Our recommendation is that they are not installed in a completely insulated manner and only within flame retardant material (such as those used in the manufacture of reputable and standards-compliant furniture). As an added safety feature, all ANIMATE components also have temperatures sensors (including the batteries) to ensure that they do not overheat and so if something were to become hot, it would simply lower its output or shut down until cooler.
Please call if you have a query.
