Which product is this article relevant to?
Smartsuit Pro II, Smartgloves, Smartgloves II
Due to shipping regulations, the Smartsuit Pro II, Smartgloves and Smartgloves II do NOT come with a battery (Power Bank).
Introduction
To use the Smartsuit Pro II, Smartgloves or Smartgloves II, you need to purchase a standard USB Power Bank that delivers 5V/3A from a single USB-A output.
How each Rokoko Device is powered up
If you plan on using a Smartsuit Pro II, Smartgloves I, and Smartgloves II as a standalone device, you will need to power up each device individually.
On the other hand, if you want to use a Smartsuit Pro Glove-ready version with the Smartgloves I or II connected to it, you can use a single powerbank.
Power bank Specifications
When looking for a power bank, keep in mind these general details:
- The battery should be a standard USB-A battery pack.
- There should be a USB-A output capable of outputting 5V/3A (more than 5V can fry the hardware).
- The battery's capacity depends on the operation time you are seeking. As a rule of thumb, for every 1000mAh battery, you will get around an hour of playtime.
How to store
The Smartsuit Pro II has a front pocket on its right side that is specifically dedicated to the power bank.
This pocket is designed to fit power banks with dimensions around the ones mentioned below and even larger ones:
- 4.5 x 2.6 x 0.5 inches
- 11.5 x 6.6 x 1.3 cm
