3 Convenient Charging Options:

  • AC Power Supply
  • DC Power Supply
  • External Battery Charger

Charging with the AC Power Supply

The AC power supply will more than likely be your most common source for charging the 16-cell battery. Specifically because the AC power supply will charge and operate the SimplyGo Mini when plugged into any conventional US or Canadian power outlet.

The instant you plug the AC power supply into the SimplyGo Mini the battery will automatically begin to charge. Make sure to always have a battery installed before you begin using the AC power supply.

How to Charge the Extended Battery with the AC Power Supply:

  • Make Sure a Battery is Inserted into the Unit
  • Plug the AC Power Cord’s Connector into the Power Supply
  • Next, Attach the AC Power Supply’s Output Cable to the SimplyGo Mini’s Power Input Connector
  • Finally, Plug the AC Power Supply into a Nearby Wall Outlet
  • A Green Light will Illuminate on the Power Supply for Charging Conformation

Charging with the DC Power Supply

The DC power supply provides you with the ability to charge and use your SimplyGo Mini in a car, truck, SUV, R.V, boat, or train using a DC electrical outlet (cigarette lighter).

You will have access to every flow setting during charging cycles with the DC power supply. The battery will charge on pulse settings 1, 2, or 3 but may or may not charge on settings 4 or 5 depending on your vehicle.

However when using settings 4 or 5 the SimplyGo Mini will operate strictly from the DC outlet, persevering battery life for portable use.

Low Battery Alarm

To provide a warning when the battery is about to die, the SimplyGo Mini will beep once every 16 seconds.

The low battery alarm is triggered when there is approximately 10 minutes of remaining battery life, while also displaying a yellow flashing alarm symbol.

If you hear the alarm sound, you will know you need to connect your SimplyGo Mini to a power source or swap out the battery.

You may silence the low battery alarm by pressing the yellow alarm silence button on the screen.

Another option is to push the Home button which takes you to another screen with a flashing low battery icon.

If you do not connect the SimplyGo Mini to a power source or change the battery after 90 seconds, the concentrator will automatically shut off.

The Depleted battery alarm can be silenced by pressing the yellow alarm silence button.
