2.2 Charging the Lightpad Block
Using the includ
ed USB “C” cable, plug the Lightpad Block into any USB charger. Some
USB chargers have a higher current rating such as an iPad charger (12W capacity as
opposed to an iPhone charger which has 5W capacity).
Both chargers will work, but the iPad charger will be much faster as it can provide higher
wattage. The same applies for a host USB 2 port (2.5W) verses a USB 3 port (4.5) on a
computer. Adding one or two Control Blocks such as the Loop Block and Live Block (which
get charged by connecting to a Lightpad Block that is plugged into either a computer or a
USB charger) will increase the overall charge time.
Please see the table below for as a general guide for charge times.
Block or Blocks
Watts
Time to charge
Lightpad Block
2.5W-------12W
3 hours --------------- 2.5 hours
Lightpad Block + Live Block
2.5W-------12W
4 hours --------------- 2.5 hours
Li Live + Loop Blocks
2.5W-------12W
5 hours --------------- 3 hours
The above figures reflect charge times with the Blocks turned off. Having the Blocks turned
on will increase the charge time by X%
