Battery Wi-Fi transmission
All GRANITE TWO batteries have an embedded Wi-Fi module that is the
core of the GRANITE Link architecture. This module is normally off by
default.
To switch it on, press the LED button for at least 5 sec until the topmost
RGB LED lights up and starts a blinking sequence till the module is on,
after which the LED blinks every ~2sec.
How to switch it on
Press and hold the LED button for at least 5 sec, until the topmost
RGB LED lights up and starts a blinking sequence till the module is
on, after which the LED blinks every ~2 sec.
(exception): If the battery voltage is below 12000mV while booting
up, the LED blinks green-red for 5 seconds and then turns off
indicating that the system cannot operate due to the low voltage.
Wait for the battery to rise above this threshold before powering the
module again.
How to switch it off
Different methods are available:
Press and hold the LED push button for at least 5 sec, when a red
LED lights up and initiates a blinking sequence lasting about 5 sec,
after which the system is off.
If the battery is not connected to the GRANITE Link App for more
than the hours indicated by the Off-Timer set in the battery by the
user through the App (default: 8hours), it switches off automatically
without user intervention to conserve power.
If the battery voltage drops below 12000mV for a time longer than 5
minutes, it switches off automatically without user intervention to
conserve power.
Please note that the status of the Wi-Fi embedded module does not alter
the operation of the battery pack: it may be turned on or off as desired
without any consequence to the battery performance.
Once the system is on, GRANITE TWO batteries operate in two modes
concurrently, Access-Point and Client.
Access Point Mode
By default, the battery is an access point and generates its unique
network whose SSID is the model name followed by the serial number.
The devices (smartphone, tablet, PC) would have to connect directly to
this network generated by the battery in order to communicate. Up to 4
devices can be connected at the same time and each one can monitor the
battery status. The standard password to connect to the battery network
is "blueshape00".
This mode offers the simpler "out of the box" connectivity, but on the other
hand limits the battery monitoring to one pack at a time: to monitor
