EnBo PU technical details

From the beginning, electric LEGO® models have been powered by AA or AAA batteries.
So far we have used alkaline or NiMh batteries, but each type has its drawbacks.

Alkaline Battery

Advantages:

  • can be cheap (if you don’t play much)
  • can have very strong ones
  • easily accessible
  • can be reused in other devices because it is widely used in electronics

Disadvantages:

  • not so cheap if you want quality and power
  • the output voltage drop may be significant under heavy load
  • non-rechargeable, disposal generates a lot of waste
  • capacity varies greatly depending on the price
  • It can’t stand really high currents

NiMh Rechargeable Battery

Advantages:

  • rechargeable many times
  • withstands high current demand
  • can have very strong ones
  • easily accessible
  • can be reused in other devices (if the lower output voltage is not a problem) because it is widely used in electronics

Disadvantages:

  • battery charger required (additional cost)
  • pretty expensive
  • lower output voltage (1.2 V) compared to the alkaline battery (1.5 V)
  • The output voltage drop may be significant under heavy load

Let’s see what we have to offer with the new EnBo PU battery

The current design addresses the following disadvantages:

  • fluctuation of the output voltage under high load and during ageing
  • easy recharging with commonly available solutions
  • large capacity
  • retain the original appearance

Technical Specification:

  • Stable 9V output up to full discharge
  • Easily handles 5A power demand
  • The included batteries are 2040mAh 18500 cells with a total capacity of 14.6Wh
  • USB-C charging port for 2A fast charge
  • Built-in battery protection for overcharge, over-discharge and overcurrent
