User Manual
The Lightpad Block features a USB-C connector for charging the device and for
a MIDI-over-USB connection between BLOCKS and a computer. More
information about the battery and charging the Lightpad Block are listed
below.
Battery Indicator
The Power LED on the Power / Bluetooth button also indicates the current
battery status of the Lightpad Block and when the Lightpad Block is being
charged. The Power LED will display green when fully charged, yellow when
partially charged and red when the charge is below 20%.
Additional Battery Info
The Lightpad Block features a 2000mAh Li-po (Lithium polymer) battery with a
nominal discharge voltage of 3.7 volts. Protection is provided for overvoltage,
overcharge, over discharge, and short circuit. The battery is capable of
powering the Lightpad Block for over four hours when fully charged. Using USB
3 charger, the battery will charge nominally within four hours. If additional
Blocks are connected the charging time will increase accordingly, as the
current is shared between all connected Blocks.
The battery will retain over 80% of its capacity for over 300 charge cycles. A
charge cycle is defined as a complete discharge from 100% to 0%, and
subsequent recharge back to 100%. For example, charging a device going from
50% charge up to 100% and back twice would be equivalent to one charge
cycle.
