The tizi battery in your tizi beat bag provides over 10 hours of sound enjoyment.
Do you already have a tizi TV receiver? Then you can exchange the replaceable batteries with each other. You can purchase additional original tizi batteries at www.tizi.tv/more.
Automatically connecting Bluetooth speakers when turned on often leads to unwanted side effects in daily use. Someone turns on tizi beat bag and your audio output (and even the phone ringing) would be automatically redirected to your tizi beat bag. We think this function only makes sense with Bluetooth earbuds, not with speakers.
Therefore, actively select tizi beat bag under Bluetooth if you want to hear the audio output on tizi beat bag after turning it on.
}In the box you will find a micro USB cable for charging your tizi Kraftprotz. The cable length is 1m.

The advantages of USB-C:
- The USB-C connector is reversible, there is no longer a top and bottom
- With USB-C you can charge much faster than with old USB-A connectors
- USB-C enables faster data communication
- The number of different USB connector types is significantly reduced
Reversible:
The USB-C connector is flat and rounded on the sides. It remains largely symmetrical and can be inserted in both directions. With old USB connectors, such as USB-A or Micro USB, a special reversible cable like a tizi flip cable had to be used to enable reversible insertion. With USB-C, this is part of the technology. The connector can be inserted in both directions and thus protects both the connector and the socket from damage due to incorrect insertion. And it is of course much more practical.Faster charging:
USB-C generally enables faster charging than standard USB, but fast charging must be supported by both the end device and the power supply. The so-called USB-C Power Delivery or USB-C PD is used to charge much faster. With the previous standard USB-A, 12 watts were usually charged, with USB-C PD charging with 5W to 100W is possible. This also makes it possible to charge computers such as the Apple MacBook and other powerful devices via USB-C.Note: Due to the higher performance with USB-C PD, there is also a greater potential danger to connected devices. Therefore, especially with USB-C Power Delivery power supplies, it is important to use only quality products such as tizi power supplies.
Faster data communication
Generally, a USB-C connector also supports faster data transfer, but this depends on both the devices used and the connector and the cable. Fastest speeds of up to 20 Gbit/s can be achieved with compatible devices with USB 3.2 Gen2x2 and via corresponding USB-C connectors and cables.Only one connector for everything
The previous USB connector has various designs:- USB-A Male and Female
- USB-B
- Micro-USB A
- Micro USB-B
- USB Mini-B
- USB 3.0 A
- USB 3.0 B
- etc.

- 12-24V input - it is also suitable for trucks
Some older Apple devices are not fast enough to use Bluetooth and WLAN simultaneously, as they use the same antenna. This affects, for example, television reception with the tizi TV receiver. In this case, please use the audio cable instead of Bluetooth.
Of course. Each tizi beat bag comes with a 3.5mm audio cable, allowing you to connect the tizi beat bag to your iPod or other MP3 player.

Yes, the Diesel port is suitable for this. But unfavorable because of the USB standard specifications. It is better to charge an iPad at the "Super" or "Normal" port, as the iPad can decide here to charge with 1A charging current (This defines the iPad, athough the "Normal" port would offer 2A). This ist the advantage of "Super Plus", as the iPad gets here the maximum 2,1A.
The small USB power supply tizi power is the perfect companion for your tizi beat bag. tizi power not only charges the battery of your tizi beat bag, but also your tizi+, iPhones and many other USB devices. You can order tizi power here.

Charging with the tizi Schlitzohr
The tizi Schlitzohr is not suitable for quick charging via USB-C Power Delivery, as it works using a USB-A connector. It is possible to charge USB-C devices with the tizi Schlitzohr, but in this case, USB Standard protocol is used and the device will charge at a maximum of around 12W.
The Hight Power USB Port has been designed for charging your iPad.
You can also charge any other device on this port. If your device needs more power, it will charge faster on this port. If not, your device will also be charged perfectly fine.

- With cheaper power adapters, the communication protocol is often missing, meaning the adapter and the iPhone / iPad are unable to communicate properly. If an iPhone / iPad gets a strange result from the power supply when the performance data is exchanged (e.g. the protocols of both devices do not understand each other), then an iPhone only charges with a maximum of 500mA, which is very very slow. In this case, the iPad will show the "Not charging" message. The iPhone / iPad does this in order to prevent the power supply from becoming overloaded.
- Another problem is possible overload - leading to a fire hazard. For example, this could occur if the cheap power supply tells the iPhone / iPad that it is able to charge up to 2.4A. If an iPad then requests this current during the charging process, the power supply will become overloaded. In the best case, it will simply turn off. However, it could also overheat and catch fire.

- If you notice any unusual behavior. For example, if the
- battery starts to swell and the housing is warped. Alternatively, of course, if the performance no longer meets your needs.
