The GoBlock’s Storage Isolation Switch disconnects the internal battery from the unit electronics, helping to minimise power drain during long-term storage or transport.
For best results, store the battery at 40–70% charge, check it periodically, and avoid leaving it fully charged or discharged for extended periods.
To help maximise the life of your GoBlock and ensure safe handling, it’s important to understand how and when to use the Storage Isolation Switch, as well as the best practices for storing your unit.
Storage Isolation Switch
The GoBlock has a Storage Isolation Switch that disconnects the internal battery from the unit electronics.
Note that it does NOT turn off the GoBlock inputs/outputs if there is another power source connected.
When to Use the Storage Isolation Switch
Long-term storage: Turn the switch to OFF to minimise power drain.
Freighting or shipping: The switch must be turned OFF before transporting the unit.
NOTE: The Storage Isolation Switch is not designed for daily operation. For normal use, simply power the unit on or off using the Control Button.
To activate storage mode, rotate the switch to OFF. This isolates the internal battery from the electronics, reducing discharge while in storage.
Storage Battery Level
For prolonged storage, correct battery management helps preserve performance and longevity.
Do not store the GoBlock fully charged or fully discharged for prolonged periods.
The recommended storage charge level is 40% to 70%.
With the Storage Isolation Switch set to OFF, the unit discharges at a natural rate of about 1 to 3% per month.
Periodically check the charge level and top up if needed to keep it within the 40% to 70% range during extended storage.
