This document describes the Nimble Champ Portable Charger, a device designed to provide portable power for various electronic devices. It emphasizes its "Tech for Good" philosophy and identifies Nimble as a Public Benefit Corporation, suggesting a commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
The Nimble Champ Portable Charger serves as an external battery pack to charge compatible electronic devices on the go. It features a USB-C port for both recharging the Champ battery itself and potentially for output charging, and a USB-A output port for charging other devices. The charger is equipped with LED indicators to display its charging status and current battery level, allowing users to quickly assess the remaining power. It supports both Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge (QC) modes, enabling faster charging for compatible devices and quicker recharging of the Champ battery. A specialized "Trickle Charge Mode" is included for safely charging small devices like wearables and wireless headphones, preventing overcharging or damage to their smaller batteries.
The Champ Portable Charger is designed for straightforward operation. To initiate charging, users simply connect their device to the charger. The charger is designed to automatically begin charging upon connection. If the Champ is in a "sleep mode" to conserve power, a single click of the Power Button will wake it up and start the charging process.
Stopping the charging process can be done in two ways: by disconnecting the device being charged, or by double-clicking the Power Button. Double-clicking the Power Button will put the Champ into sleep mode. The charger also intelligently enters sleep mode automatically after a device is fully charged or if it remains disconnected for 30-40 seconds. Furthermore, if a cable is connected but no chargeable device is detected, the Champ will enter sleep mode to prevent unnecessary power drain.
Recharging the Champ battery is also a simple process. Users connect the included cable to a power source, such as a Nimble USB Wall Charger, and then insert the Type-C connector into the battery's USB-C port. The manual indicates that a full recharge from 0% takes approximately 2-3 hours. A convenient feature is the ability to recharge the Champ battery using the USB-C input while simultaneously charging another device via the USB-A output, allowing for multi-tasking.
The Trickle Charge Mode is a specific usage feature for delicate electronics. To activate this mode, users press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds. This mode is specifically recommended for small devices like wearables and wireless headphones, which typically require a lower charging current to prevent battery degradation or damage.
The manual provides clear guidelines for the care and maintenance of the Nimble Champ Portable Charger to ensure its longevity and safe operation.
