Technical Information 

 

Your EPX provides the mother unit with ideal operating conditions. The 
popular usage of accumulators shows the following serious disadvantage:  

The  output  voltage  is  not  short  term  stable:  The  internal  impedance  is 
10

 

times worse than the one of your EPX causing an output ripple voltage 

10

 

times in magnitude at the same load condition. 

The output voltage is not long term stable: The output voltage of an ac-
cumulator is highly dependent from its state of charge and usage history, 
typically ranging from 23 V to 28

 

V. The EPX always provides 24.00

 

V. 

The  usage  of  accumulators  is  questionable  regarding  to  environmental 
concerns. 

Last not least you are able to listen to your music with high-end quality 
using the EPX whenever you like not being forced to wait for accumula-
tors being charged.
