Maintaining the battery pack of your GOKOZY heated clothing is essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. To help you charge and care for the battery effectively, follow these step-by-step instructions and tips to get the most out of your heated gear.
1. Choosing the Right Wall Adapter
To charge your GOKOZY battery pack, you’ll need a 5V 2A wall adapter. While the battery pack doesn’t come with an adapter, this allows you to use existing smartphone chargers, most of which are compatible with this output. Using a wall adapter with the right power output ensures that the battery charges efficiently without any risk of overloading or slow charging.
Additionally, GOKOZY batteries use a USB Type-C port, which means you can use the included charging cable or any standard Type-C cable, such as the one used for most modern smartphones. This flexibility makes it easy to charge your battery with common household accessories.
2. Connecting the Battery for Charging
Once you’ve selected the correct adapter and cable, follow these simple steps to charge your GOKOZY battery:
Plug the USB-A (the larger end of the cable) into the wall adapter.Connect the Type-C plug to the battery pack.
Ensure that both connections are secure before charging. This will allow the charging process to begin smoothly and prevent disconnections.
3. Monitoring the Charging Process
When your battery is charging, you’ll notice the LED indicator on the battery pack flashing. This is a sign that the battery is actively charging. On average, a full charge takes about 7-8 hours with a 5V 2A adapter for 10000mah battery. If you’re using a lower-powered 5V 1A adapter, the charging time may extend to 10-12 hours.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED will stop flashing, indicating that it’s ready for use. It’s a good practice to monitor the battery during the charging process, though it’s safe to leave it charging overnight if necessary.
4. Battery Maintenance for Longevity
Proper care and maintenance can greatly extend the life of your GOKOZY battery. Here are some important guidelines:
Charge to 70% every 3 months: If you’re not using your battery regularly, it’s recommended to charge it up to 70% every three months. This helps prevent the battery from degrading and prolongs its overall lifespan.Store in a cool, dry place: When the battery is not in use, store it in a location free from humidity. Excess moisture can damage the battery, and extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold) can reduce its efficiency over time.
5. Troubleshooting Common Battery Issues
Even with proper care, you might encounter occasional battery issues. Here’s how to resolve them:
Slow Charging or No Charge: If the battery charges slowly or doesn’t seem to charge at all, the issue could lie with the wall adapter or charging cable. Over time, these components can wear out, reducing charging efficiency. Try replacing the adapter or cable to see if it improves the charging speed.Shortened Battery Life: Over time, you may notice that your battery doesn’t last as long as it did when new. This is normal for lithium-ion batteries. The GOKOZY battery is designed to last through 300 full charge cycles (or roughly one year of regular use). After that, the battery capacity will naturally decrease, resulting in shorter usage times.
Battery Doesn’t Turn Off: One of the great features of GOKOZY’s battery is that it doesn’t require manual shut-off. The battery automatically powers off after 30 seconds of inactivity, so there’s no need to worry about it draining while not in use. If you notice the battery remaining on for too long, ensure it’s not connected to any devices or cables.
6. Safety Tips for Charging
Safety is crucial when working with battery-powered devices. To ensure safe charging, keep the following tips in mind:
Avoid extreme temperatures: Charge the battery in a room that is not too hot or too cold. Extreme temperatures can cause the battery to overheat or lose efficiency.Unplug after charging: Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect it from the charger. Leaving it plugged in for extended periods after it’s fully charged can wear down the battery over time.
Inspect charging equipment regularly: Periodically check your wall adapter and charging cable for any signs of wear or damage. Damaged cables or adapters can pose a safety risk and slow down the charging process.
Conclusion
Proper charging and maintenance of your GOKOZY battery pack will ensure that it lasts longer and performs efficiently throughout its lifetime. By using the correct wall adapter, following the charging process, and maintaining the battery with care, you can enjoy the full benefits of your GOKOZY heated gear. Don’t forget to troubleshoot any common issues and follow safety guidelines to keep your battery in top condition.
