With the GPD WIN 5 Battery Cable Extender accessory, you can power your device using the external battery without it being physically attached to the main console. This allows for more versatile usage, such as resting the battery on a desk or placing it in a bag to lighten the handheld gaming PCs weight during gameplay.
The battery cable extender features distinct connectors on its two ends, which ensures it can only be linked in the correct orientation between the battery and the GPD WIN 5 console itself.
For installation, the Battery Connector end is inserted into the battery and then fastened by tightening its two screws. Likewise, the end for the GPD WIN 5 is connected to the console and is also made secure by tightening its pair of screws.
Once both connectors are firmly attached, you can power on your GPD WIN 5 for standard operation. The extender is ideal for travel, as you can stow the battery in a bag to reduce the weight held in your hands.
