CHARGING THE BATTERY
The LaCie Fuel uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. A fully charged battery provides up to 8 hours of
continuous streaming. However, the battery loses its charge faster when playing high-resolution videos. When
the device is in standby mode, the battery holds its charge for up to 25 hours. The device enters standby mode
after 5 minutes of inactivity.
The power LED shows the battery status:
Green: Fully charged
■
Amber: Charging
■
Red: Low battery, with about 5-10 minutes of battery life.
■
The fastest way to charge the battery is to connect your LaCie Fuel to a power outlet using the included USB
cable and power adapter. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery.
Your LaCie Fuel device also charges when it is connected to a computer, but at a slower rate. The lifespan of the
battery is affected by the number of charge cycles. You cannot replace the battery.
Important info: The lithium-ion battery inside your LaCie Fuel device is not user-replaceable. Removing the
battery will void the warranty for your product. Additionally, if you choose to remove the battery, you must
dispose of it according to the laws of your country and region.
