Can I power the Piccolo-II from an external battery?
Yes, the Piccolo-II can be powered from an external battery but it’s important to mention that not
every USB battery will work.
The “smart” USB batteries widely available on the Internet are meant to charge a cellphone battery
and disconnect itself once the battery is fully charged. Since the Piccolo-II is already full when it’s
connected to such a battery, the battery disconnect itself and does not provide any power.
Thus, the recommended battery is a simple battery pack with battery voltage directly on the USB
power pins such as this one:
Using 4x AA batteries (4x 3200 mAh) should provide 3-4 days of extended battery life before the
internal battery starts being used.
Important: The maximum voltage on the USB connector is 7V.
Note: No technical support will be provided on the use of an external battery. The warranty does not
cover any damages caused by the use of an external battery.
Is the Piccolo-II weatherproof?
No, the Piccolo-II is not weatherproof. Exposing the Piccolo-II to water can damage the microphone
and its internal electronics. Water damages are not covered by the warranty.
