Question about XCell Radiolight Dynamo
Dear Galaxus team - How is the battery charge status displayed? - How can I see whether the mobile is charging or not? - How long does it take to charge the mobile using the hand crank? Many thanks for your reply and best regards, Bruno
Hello,
Question 1: The device does not have a digital display for the charge status. There is no LED display or bar display that visualises the current battery status. The battery is a permanently installed Li-polymer battery with 480 mAh. Power is supplied either via the hand crank or the USB-A input.
Question 2:
The device has a USB-A output that serves as a power bank. However, there is no specific indicator on the device to confirm charging. You can check the charging process by looking for the usual charging indicators on your mobile, such as the charging icon or a corresponding notification.
Question 3: Cranking generates a limited amount of energy. According to the manufacturer, one minute of cranking provides about 10 minutes of light when using the main LED (30 lumens) or 20 minutes of light when using the two secondary LEDs (6 lumens). The efficiency is lower for charging a mobile phone. It is estimated that several minutes of cranking are required to achieve a few per cent battery charge on a smartphone. Cranking is therefore intended more for emergencies to provide short-term energy.
