Key Features
- Intelligent 4-in-1 Charging Case: Functions as a dual-channel 24W fast charger, 10.5W output power source, battery accumulator, and battery storage case. Compatible with Insta360 Ace Pro 2, Ace Pro, and Ace batteries.
- Unparalleled Intelligence with OLED Screen: Features a 0.96" OLED screen displaying real-time battery and charging information, including State of Charge (SOC), power, voltage, current, battery health, cycle counts, capacity, and temperature.
- Max 15W Fastest Charging Speed: Charges two Ace Pro 2 batteries from 0% to 80% in 40 minutes (at 10W per channel) or 0% to 100% in 75 minutes. In 15W boost mode, a single battery charges from 0% to 80% in 25 minutes.
- Bi-directional (Two-Way) Charger: Capable of charging Insta360 batteries and also providing power to small external devices like phones or tablets.
- Original Accumulation Mode: Allows combining the charge from two partially charged batteries into one fully charged battery, reducing the need for mid-use battery swaps.
- Unparalleled Charging Accuracy: Equipped with highly accurate Texas Instruments charging management chips, achieving ±8mV accuracy for precise charging and extended battery lifespan.

Original Accumulation Mode
This unique feature allows you to consolidate charge from two partially charged batteries into one fully charged battery.
- Insert Batteries: Place two partially charged Insta360 batteries into the charging slots.
- Initiate Accumulation: The charger will intelligently transfer energy from one battery to the other until one battery is fully charged, if possible. The OLED screen will show the accumulation process.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the charger. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure no dust or debris accumulates in the battery slots or USB-C port.
- Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. When not in use for extended periods, ensure batteries are removed.
- Handling: Avoid dropping the charger or subjecting it to strong impacts. The semi-clear PC shell and internal components are designed for durability but can be damaged by misuse.
Troubleshooting
- Charger Not Powering On:
Solution: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the charger and a working power adapter. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter. - Batteries Not Charging:
Solution: Verify batteries are inserted correctly. Check the OLED screen for error messages or low input power indication. Ensure the power adapter provides sufficient wattage (24W recommended for fast charging). - Slow Charging Speed:
Solution: Ensure you are using a power adapter capable of delivering at least 24W. Charging speed can be affected by ambient temperature; ensure operation within the specified temperature range (32° to 104° F / 0° to 40° C). - Inaccurate Battery Readings:
Solution: The SYMIK charger features high accuracy (±8mV). If you suspect inaccurate readings, ensure the battery contacts are clean. Note that extreme temperatures can temporarily affect battery performance and readings. - Power Bank Mode Not Working:
Solution: Ensure there are charged Insta360 batteries inside the case. Verify the external device is properly connected via the USB-C port.
