USB Type C - 2 A

USB discharge via the USB A standard of 500maH

Who cares.
You might want to know, but you don't have to. Now automatically controlled by the Appcon. The smartphone used in the video draws 5-6 watts (that's a lot). This means that a Lion battery at 0% is probably not able to charge the phone. The experienced energy is not enough. So the cell phone needs more energy than the hub dynamo can provide.

The simplest solution in this situation is not to connect your phone to the dynamo charger until it has enough power in the buffer battery for your purposes. And everything's fine.

 

Quick charge under the new USB C standard.

Diese neue Technologie findet man bei den neusten Flaggschiff-Handys. Diese Handys können mit 2A geladen werden, das bedeutet 4 mal so schnell wie mit dem alten USB Standard. Da brennt die Hütte und es ist nicht mehr trivial das zu handhaben. Um im Vorfeld dieser neuen Technologie Herr zu werden und das Lion APPCON Akku bestmöglich zu verwalten haben wir die Firmware ab Version 240 angepasst. 05/2019

If you plug an empty mobile phone flagship into a dynamo charger without a buffer battery, it probably won't work properly. A charger with a fast-charging buffer battery will insert the wings in no time at all. Chargers which only allow lower currents, e.g. up to 1A behave better but under the condition that the mobile phone needs a maintenance current (depending on the model) this is also useless. Here the mobile phone must first be disconnected until the battery has sufficiently built up its charge.

Firmware conversion.

In the previous version, the Appcon was first charged to 3% (red LED) and then powered to the USB output through its buffer battery.

This has now been changed. The APPCON now first charges its buffer battery up to 17% and shows the red LED, even though power is already available. This means that the USB output is switched off. The phone's not charging.

With this behavior, the APPCON can rock up your phone as shown in the video. When you plug the mobile phone into the Appcon it doesn't matter anymore.

It is interesting to see in the video that the mobile phone wants 85% less power (approx. 1 Watt) and the APPCON discharges deeper. If the discharge currents are too high, the Appcon switches off beforehand (approx. 10%) to protect the battery. However, in any case, the fastest possible charging of your telephone is guaranteed. The important thing is that everything is designed to charge and discharge the APPCON battery in the best possible way to ensure perfect function and a long service life.

If the APPCON is on the way from 0% to 17% and the USB output is switched off, the red LED lights up. (Blinks when you are not connected to the phone via Bluetooth and blinks when you are connected.)

To still open the USB output, for whatever reason, you must reboot the APPCON.

This can be done in the App in the Sensor Settings on the Sensor Display by pressing the white down arrow. (Adroid only) IOS is still at 05/2019. Then the displayed % are available for the USB output.

Szenario-Test am NC-17 Prüfstand Motor angetriebene Shimano Dynamo-Nabe. Du hast abends den Appcon mit in dein Zelt genommen und ihn bis auf 16% entladen. Dein Smartphone hat noch eine Ladung von 16%. Morgens ab aufs Rad und los geht es. Bei einer durchschnittlichen Geschwindigkeit von 15 km/h brauchst du ca. 3 Stunden um dein Telefon auf 100% zu laden. Du brauchst weitere ca. 3,5 Stunden bei eingeschaltetem Handy um das 3000maH Akku des APPCON auch auf 100% zu laden. Alle Stromverläufe sind unter gleichen Bedienungen linear. Wenn du in 1,5 Stunden 50% geladen hast wirst du in weiteren 1,5 Stunden 100% laden.

The APPCON performance is still valid, if you drive off with a full mobile phone you arrive with a full mobile phone.
