Battery guidance
Getting the most out of your battery
The Grid Pad Go 10 battery will last an average user 6 hours. Every user will use the device in a different way. Intensive use
including using Bluetooth, streaming video and listening to music for long periods of time will use the battery faster. To
improve the life of the battery:
• Reduce the brightness of the screen.
• Switch off connectivity if not being used such as Wi- and Bluetooth.
• Try not to run too many background tasks, particularly online services that sync such as OneDrive and Dropbox
• If appropriate use Settings > Power and sleep to adjust when the screen will switch off and the device will power
down.
Charging guidance
Our batteries take between 2-5 hours to charge. To prevent degradation, it is good practice to allow the battery to charge
completely. It is also recommend to allow the battery to completely run down every 3 months before charging completely.
This is called a full cycle.
Battery degradation
The Grid Pad Go has a lithium ion battery, as found in mobile phones, laptops and other portable devices. Over time the
battery performance will degrade. If used correctly the battery it will degrade by approximately 10% after 250 cycles. If a
device is charged every day for a year you would expect to see a degradation of approximately 15%.
