Hardware Battery
You can replace your battery if you notice any issue with it:
- do not charge anymore,
- quickly deplete,
- etc...
We don't sell replacement battery, but you can get it anywhere online from 3€ or 4 €.
Under the PandwaRF PCB, there are 2 pads (BATT+, BATT-) that you can use to solder your new battery.
Don't forget to remove old battery.
Battery capacity differs according to the HW revision of your PandwaRF.
- If you have a PandwaRF Rev.D, replacement battery must be Lithium Polymer LiPo 3.7V, 200mAh or equivalent.
- If you have a PandwaRF Rev.DE/E/E4/F, replacement battery must be Lithium Polymer LiPo 3.7V, 350mAh or equivalent.
| HW revision | Battery capacity | Charging current |
|---|---|---|
| D | 200 mAh | 100 mA |
| DE | 350 mAh | 200 mA |
| E | 350 mAh | 200 mA |
| E4 | 350 mAh | 200 mA |
| F | 350 mAh | 200 mA |
You can put a higher capacity battery, but it will take longer to charge, as PandwaRF HW is designed to charge at Capacity/2. Do not put a lower capacity battery, as you may damage it (too much charge current).
If you change your battery with a different capacity battery, you need update Battery capacity setting in the app.
- Goto "Bus Service Ext." page of the app
- In BUS Service, select BUS config
- Select SET_BATTERY_CAPACITY
- Set value to desired battery capacity in mAh
- Click Send
You may wait until a full charge discharge cycle for PandwaRF to correctly set the battery level indication.
