Shame they're in the US, but these look interesting:

More pictures of the battery pack.

It has a PIC16C72A
MAX 1414C A/d
Ti bq2060A Power Management IC

Lots of TPB9013 FETs

Cells are not the ICR 18650 as advertized, but are a korean make with F1FHH2 on the the label.

Hi there,

I just found your post about this battery which I bought as an extra portable source of power to my video camera, light etc. but found that it needs some control on the output connector to let the 'power out' - so I just managed to charge it, tested it as full, but can't use it any way...
Do you have please any tip how to manage to use it as is like an external battery pack?
And another question to the voltage - is it please possible to set it up to have just 12V output instead of the claimed 12-19V?

Many thanks,

Zed
