Charging

To charge your Blue Cactus 5000mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack:

  1. Connect Charger: Plug the provided Power Transformer into a standard wall outlet. Connect the Charging Cord to the Power Transformer and then to the 'IN' port on the battery pack.
  2. Monitor Charge: The LED display on the battery pack will show the charging progress. A full charge typically takes approximately 7 hours.
  3. Usage Duration: A fully charged battery pack should last approximately 21-30 days under moderate use. This duration may vary based on the frequency of use and the power draw of your furniture (e.g., presence of LEDs or USB ports).
  4. Charge While Using: The battery pack can be charged while simultaneously powering your furniture. This allows for continuous operation without interruption.

Compatibility

The Blue Cactus 5000mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack is designed for broad compatibility:

  • 2-Pin Connectors: Directly compatible with most reclining furniture that uses a standard 2-pin male plug (one flat, one round pin).
  • 5-Pin Connectors: For furniture with 5-pin male plugs (five pins located in the upper part of the circle or across the circle, common with La-Z-Boy), use the included Adapter Cords.

Troubleshooting

  • Battery Drains Quickly: Some recliners, especially those with extra features like LED lights or USB ports, may experience 'Ghost Drainage' (standby power loss) even when not in use. This is normal for certain furniture models and may require more frequent charging. Consider adding a battery life extender kit (sold separately) to mitigate this.
  • Low Power Alert: The battery pack is equipped with a low-power alert system to notify you when charging is needed, preventing unexpected power loss.
  • No Power to Furniture: Ensure all connections are secure and correctly plugged into the battery pack and the furniture. Check the LED display on the battery to confirm it is powered on and has sufficient charge.
