FireBoard 10000 mAh Battery Pack — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FireBoard 10000 mAh Battery Pack?
The FireBoard 10000 mAh Battery Pack is a rechargeable external battery designed to extend the runtime of your FireBoard thermometer or controller system. It connects via **USB-C** or **Micro USB** and can keep your device powered during long smokes or overnight cooks.
Which FireBoard models does it support, and how well?
The battery pack supports multiple FireBoard models:
- For **FireBoard 2, FireBoard 2 Drive, FireBoard 2 Pro**: it can deliver **100% fan speed** via USB-C.
- For **FireBoard (Gen 1)**: via Micro USB, it supports roughly **40-50% fan speed** while powering the unit.
The pack can charge the internal battery while simultaneously powering the fan drive.
What are the specifications and physical details?
• Capacity: **10,000 mAh**
• Rechargeable via USB-C or Micro USB — supports USB Power Delivery (PD) for higher voltage output on compatible devices.
• Dimensions (approx): 5.5" × 2.8" × 0.6"
• Model number / SKU: BP110 (as per FireBoard’s description)
• The pack supports simultaneous charging and powering of FireBoard and fan systems.
How do I use and care for this battery pack?
1. Connect the battery pack to your FireBoard via the appropriate USB port (USB-C or Micro USB).
2. The pack will power your FireBoard and can recharge it while driving the fan.
3. For maximum efficiency, use the USB-C connection when possible (for 2-series devices) to allow full fan speed.
4. Recharge the battery pack after use, and avoid fully discharging it frequently.
5. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing to extreme heat or moisture.
6. Use only quality cables, and monitor connections to avoid voltage drops.
What are the advantages and trade-offs?
Advantages:
• Greatly extends cooking or monitoring time on long or overnight smokes.
• Ability to power both the FireBoard unit and fan drive simultaneously.
• Supports full fan output (on compatible FireBoard models) via USB-C.
• Rechargeable and portable — useful for remote or outdoor setups.
Trade-offs / cautions:
• On older FireBoard models (Gen 1), fan speed is limited when powered via Micro USB.
• Efficiency, voltage drop, or cable quality can affect performance — long or thin cables may reduce output.
• Battery capacity is finite — for extended use, you may still need to recharge mid-cook or invest in backup packs.
• As with all lithium battery packs, avoid extreme temperatures, overcharging, or deep discharges to preserve battery life.
