    Mevo+ Powering Off while playing a round and connected to charger

    Does anyone else have an issue with their Mevo+ switching off while playing a round? I have mine connected to the charging cable and mains via extension lead but I could only get throuigh 17 holes before the unit powered off. Does it draw more power than it can charge while the radars are on?

    A kind soul on the facebook group informed me if you dont have it connected to power before switching it on - sometimes the unit doesnt recognise it attached to main and wont charge the battery. So after charging a bit and then turning it on while connected to mains it seems to work well! I will see how we go with this. Loving this unit, just a couple of little gotcha's but all in all it's great!

      Thanks for the follow up from the Facebook group. I will definitely have to remember this.

      This is a very good video! Thank you. I am waiting on my unit and I am now going to order an external battery power pack. I wonder if going with a 30000mah 2.1a unit will be good?!

        Might wanna check with Flightscope on what they recommend. I have heard that not enough current can cause problems. Just what I read on another forum. You will love the Mevo+. It is fantastic!

          The external battery FS used to sell and I purchased from FS with my Mevo+ is 5v 2.1a. The wall plug is 5v 2.5a. Your probably safe. I would buy a better one that has some regulation
