gitaplus's battery and power management

gitaplus runs on a Lithium-Ion battery, which supports an estimated average of 6 hours of continuous walking and can be recharged in approximately 2 hours.

You can find gitaplus’s charge status in the mygita app. It will also communicate its charge status through the colored lights at the wheels:

• When the battery level is below 50%, the wheel lights change from light blue to orange. 
• When the battery level is below 10%, the wheel lights and buttons flash orange, accompanied by an error sound.
• When the battery level drops below 5%, gitaplus is no longer able to move. The buttons and the wheel lights turn red, gitaplus enters Park Mode, and powers off. It can be used again when it has been recharged. 

Should circumstances require you to power gitaplus off manually, press and hold the Power button and release it after 3 seconds.

To power on gitaplus, briefly press and release the Power button.

Charging

• To charge gitaplus, plug the charging cable into the charging port at the back of gitaplus and the power plug into a regular wall outlet. (The charging port is underneath the power button.) 

• gitaplus will stay in its stable Park position while charging. 

• There is no need to worry about over-charging your battery as gitaplus’s battery pack automatically charges the battery to an optimum level.

• While the battery is being charged, the Pair/Park button pulses green; it changes to solid green once the battery has been fully charged. 

• Use the mygita app to view gitaplus’s battery status during the charging process. 

• While the charging cable is plugged in, it is not possible to exit Park Mode.

gitaplus tip

gitaplus should not be left in temperatures below 40°F. This could result in the inability to charge your robot. It is a feature to protect the battery from freezing. The mygita application will warn you that the battery will not begin re-charging until it warms to a temperature of about 50°F. 

If you keep your robot exposed to the outside cold for an extended period of time, bring it inside and let it warm up before charging. We recommend giving it 24 hrs at room temperature before attempting to charge.
