Energy storage for LokSound L V4.0, LokSound V4.0, 2x 5F/2.7V. The new ESU PowerPack Maxi was developed as a powerful addition to the LokSound L V4.0 / LokSound 5 L decoder. Of course, provided there is enough space, it can also be connected to all LokPilot V4.0, LokSound V4.0, LokSound V4.0 M4, LokPilot 5 or LokSound 5 decoders. It provides uninterrupted power for your locomotive when running on dirty roads and long pull-out ladders.
All sound, lighting and motor functions are buffered using two power storage capacitors allowing your models to run for up to three seconds depending on total power consumption. The PowerPack Maxi features an integrated charging circuit controlled by the decoder. Therefore, it can be connected even during programming.
The charging current is limited to prevent an ??excessive load on the booster, if there are several models in the same booster sector. By means of a CV, the buffer time can be shortened. This can be useful to ensure the correct stop position before signals with the Stop aspect (red signal). The space requirements of the PowerPack Maxi of approximately 27.5 mm x 15.7 mm x 13 mm should be considered when installing this device.
A three-pole wiring harness connects the PowerPack Maxi to the decoder. The wires are already soldered to the PowerPack Maxi, but still need to be soldered to the appropriate solder areas of the decoder. Please note that the PowerPack cannot operate in analog mode for technical reasons: buffering is therefore not possible in analog mode.
