# Battery Specs

Let’s begin this guide with something very important. Before purchasing, upon arrival, and before connecting the battery, always confirm the red and black wire polarity. Incorrect polarity may damage your keyboard.

Use a lithium polymer battery (3.7 V / 100–400 mAh) with a built-in protection circuit (PCM) and dimensions within 4.3 mm (thickness) × 36 mm (height) × 21 mm (width) (e.g., model numbers 401730, 402030, etc.), equipped with a Molex 51021-0200 (1.25 mm pitch) connector.

Model numbers indicate only the battery’s size. **Connector type** and **polarity** are not included in the model number, so make sure to confirm these separately before purchase. For example, some DTP 402030 batteries are compatible, but HXJNLDC 402030 are not, due to different polarity.

Before purchasing, always check:\
**① Size ② Connector ③ Polarity**

If you have any questions about battery compatibility, please send us a link or photo of the battery at <support@beekeeb.com>.

### Battery Testing Results

**⚠️ Keep sharp objects away from the battery.**\
Placing any sharp objects on top of the battery can puncture it, leading to damage or leaks. In the worst case, this sparks a fire hazard from chemical reactions inside.

#### \[Not Recommended] Battery with a Larger Capacity

Larger capacity batteries with the Molex PicoBlade 51021-0200 (1.25 mm pitch) connector are available on the market. However, they require high level of skill to route the wires and position the battery correctly and safely. For this reason, we <mark style="color:red;">do not recommend using them</mark>.

* **402535**

  There is a FPC connector in the trackpad. After installing the battery, please gently push it aside to create space for properly storing the FPC connector.

* **502035**

  While the keyboard case can accommodate a battery with 5.2mm thickness, the battery may swell over time due to normal aging and cycling. This expansion could press against keyboard components, potentially causing damage or safety hazards. Therefore, we <mark style="color:red;">do not recommend using it</mark>.

### Using Toucan Without Batteries

If you do not have a battery yet, you can still use the keyboard by connecting both halves with two USB-C cables to USB power sources.

### \[Not Recommended] Changing the Polarity

If you cannot obtain a battery with the correct size and polarity, but have one with the right size and wrong polarity, you may carefully swap the wires by unlocking the Molex connector using tweezers. Disconnect the wires, swap their positions, and reattach them securely.&#x20;

**⚠️**  However, we strongly do not recommend this, as improper handling can damage the battery, cause overheating, or even lead to fire.
