Charging the Battery

The GoFlex Satellite device uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. A fully charged battery provides up to five hours of continuous streaming. However, the battery will lose its charge faster when playing higher resolution video. When the device is in standby mode, the battery retains its charge for up to 25 hours. Your GoFlex Satellite device enters standby mode after five minutes of inactivity.

Figure 5: Charging GoFlex Satellite

When the power LED turns red, your GoFlex Satellite device has about 15-20 minutes of battery life and should be charged soon. The fastest way to charge the battery is to connect the GoFlex Satellite device to a power outlet using the included USB to DC power cable and the USB wall adapter. If you’re travelling, you can also use the USB to DC power cable together with the USB car charger. It takes about four hours to charge the battery.

Note: For safety purposes, the drive stops charging after four hours.

Your GoFlex Satellite device also charges when it is connected to a computer, but at a slower rate.

The lithium-ion battery inside your GoFlex Satellite device is not user-replaceable. The lifespan of rechargeable batteries can be affected by the number of charge cycles. See www.seagate.com/support/goflexsatellite for information about recycling and proper disposal.
