Webpage to PDF
BAT-W01-A

Battery-removebg-previewDoodle Labs' battery pack is designed to be used with our Wearable Mesh Rider products. The battery pack attaches securely to the Wearable Smart Radio using a custom developed simple Lock/Release mechanism for vibration resiliency. It uses an IP67 rugged aluminum casing which is verified to MIL-STD-810H standards.

The battery pack is fully USB-PD compliant and also supports a standard 5-V to 15-V power supply, so it can be charged by a wide variety of chargers for cell phones, laptops and even the USB port of a vehicle. The battery pack uses a smart battery management system (BMS) which supports fast charging and is large enough to support several hours of continuous operation.

LED and Power Behavior

USB-C PD Charger NOT plugged in System is OFF
Battery charging, USB-C PD Charger plugged in, Battery capacity < 5% Fast blink RED LED
Battery charging, USB-C PD Charger plugged in, 5% ≤ Battery capacity < 60% Medium blink YELLOW LED
Battery charging, USB-C PD Charger plugged in, 60% ≤ Battery capacity < 100% Slow blink GREEN LED
Battery fully charged, USB-C PD Charger plugged in, Battery capacity 100% GREEN LED is SOLID ON
Press PWR Button - ON mode Solid YELLOW LED is ON and user shall hold the PWR button. Then solid GREEN LED is ON and user can release PWR button anytime then 
Press PWR Button - OFF mode Solid RED LED is ON and user shall hold the PWR button. Then RED LED will go off and user can release PWR button anytime then 
Battery's temperature exceeds battery warm threshold or battery cool threshold RED and GREEN LED blinks alternatively

a. Battery's temperature exceeds battery hot threshold or battery cold threshold


b. Battery is missing

RED LED blinks twice consecutively then

GREEN LED blinks twice consecutively and repeat

Special Safety Features

Detachment Protection Auto power OFF battery box when the battery box is accidentally detached from Wearable MR radio during normal operation
Preventive Power Cycling  Battery box will be forced to enter power OFF mode whenever there is no detection of Wearable MR radio even if the power ON button is pressed
Forced Manual Shut Down Battery box will be forced to enter power OFF mode in the event of long press of power button
