5. Package Contents
The package typically includes:
- 1 x MECHANIC BA27 Battery Activation Detection Board
Note: Additional cables or accessories may be sold separately.
6. Setup Instructions
6.1 Powering the Board
- Connect a Type-C cable to the board's Type-C input port and to a suitable power source (e.g., USB charger, computer USB port).
- Alternatively, use alligator clips to connect to the VIN+ and VIN- terminals on the board for power input.
- The USB port on the board is for output only (e.g., charging a phone), not for powering the board itself.

6.2 Connecting an External Current Meter (Optional)
If you wish to monitor current with an external pointer meter:
- Carefully remove the circuit terminals located at the upper right corner of the board using tweezers.
- Connect the pointer meter through the standard terminal cable to these terminals.
- If the pointer meter is not needed, ensure to plug the original circuit terminals back into place for the board to function correctly.

7. Operating Instructions
7.1 Battery Connection
- For iPhone batteries (IP6-16 series): Locate the corresponding labeled battery holder on the board and snap the battery connector onto it.
- For Android batteries (over 400 series): Identify the correct battery holder based on the marked models on the board, then buckle and use.

7.2 Battery Activation and Charging
- Once the battery is securely connected, the LED digital display will show the current voltage and current.
- To activate a dormant battery or initiate fast charging, press the "Activate" button on the board. This will start the activation process and switch to automatic fast charge.
- The board will automatically power off when the battery is fully charged. The blue indicator light will go out, signaling completion.

8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the board. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of damage to the cables, connectors, or the board itself.
9. Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on: Ensure the power source is connected correctly via Type-C or alligator clips and is providing the correct voltage (4.2V-4.5V). Check if the external current meter terminals are properly re-inserted if not in use.
- Battery not activating/charging:
- Verify the battery is correctly seated in the appropriate holder for its model.
- Ensure the "Activate" button has been pressed.
- Check the battery's condition; severely damaged or completely dead batteries may not activate.
- Incorrect voltage/current display: Ensure all connections are secure. If using an external meter, verify its calibration and connection.
- Phone not charging from output ports: Confirm the board is powered on and the charging cable is functional and correctly connected to both the board and the phone.
10. User Tips
- Always double-check the battery model against the labels on the board to ensure proper connection and avoid damage.
- For optimal performance, use a stable and reliable power supply for the activation board.
- While the board supports a wide range of models, always confirm compatibility for specific, less common devices.
11. Warranty and Support
The MECHANIC BA27 Battery Activation Detection Board comes with a standard manufacturer's warranty. For specific warranty terms, technical support, or service inquiries, please refer to the documentation provided with your purchase or contact the manufacturer/seller directly.
