CHARGE THE GoBlock
GoBlock contains a high-quality lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO
4
) battery that is capable of a
rapid 50 A recharge rate.
The GoBlock is supplied partially charged, however charging the battery fully before its first use is
recommended. This is in order to equalise the internal battery cells for optimum battery cycle-life,
and to ensure that the Battery Level LEDs are as accurate as possible.
The GoBlock does not need to be completely flat before charging and can be topped up
at any time.
CAUTION
ƒ
When recharging the GoBlock internal battery at the full 50 A rate, or when the total
input/output load current is ≈ 50 A, the top housing around the inputs/outputs may become
hot — take care when handling.
ƒ When recharging the GoBlock internal battery, ensure that there is airflow around the unit
to prevent it from overheating — do not charge in direct sunlight/hot area as the charging
performance may be affected.
