Battery level
Section titled “Battery level”Battery percentage is shown in the ZForce app next to the device name. The BLE battery service reports level in 1% increments. The app uses a Li-ion discharge curve for accurate estimation (not a simple linear map).
Charging while in use
Section titled “Charging while in use”The ZPlate can stream data while charging via USB-C. The charging LED overrides the BLE status colour while the cable is connected.
Storage
Section titled “Storage”If storing for more than 2 weeks, charge to ~60% before storage. Avoid storing fully discharged — this degrades Li-ion cells.
