2. Setting up the GoFlex Satellite™ Device Charging the Battery
GoFlex Satellite™ User Guide 11
When the power LED turns red, GoFlex Satellite has about 50 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.
Note: For safety purposes, the drive stops charging after four hours.
If you plan travel with GoFlex Satellite, be sure to take the power adapter and/or car charger
and the USB power cable with you. The power adapter will also charge your iOS device.
The GoFlex Satellite device also charges when it is connected to a computer, but at a slower
rate.
Note: The lithium-ion battery inside the GoFlex Satellite device is not user-replaceable. The lifespan
of rechargeable batteries is affected by the number of charge cycles. Rechargeable batteries
may eventually need to be replaced. This product contains a lithium-ion battery that must be
disposed of properly. See www.seagate.com/support/goflexsatellite for information about
recycling and proper disposal.
