The Battery mod
The battery charges with a USB-C to USB cable. USB-C to USB-C cables are not compatible. This cable should be plugged into a standard 5V USB power supply (for example, a phone charger).
When the battery is charging, an LED lights up. When the battery is 100% charged, the LED turns off. There is no need to wait for the battery to be completely charged before unplugging it. Similarly, the battery does not need to be completely discharged before charging it.
If the battery is swollen or has a strange smell, unplug it and remove it, then contact me for a replacement. The battery comes with a 2-year warranty.
The RGB LEDs
You can adjust the RGB LEDs using key combinations. To switch from one mode to another, or to turn off the LEDs, hold down A + B for 3 seconds. You can then access settings specific to each mode by referring to this diagram: click on the image to view it in full size
