Through feedback and the ingenuity of our RAPT Users Group of FaceBook. KegLand is proud to introduce the wireless charging kit for the KegLand RAPT Pill Hydrometers.
No need to take your RAPT Pill housing apart for charging! Or even to connect to the RAPT Captive Portal.
If the green light does not flash green (captive portal open), it means your battery is insufficiently charged. Leave your pill on the charging pad for 24 hours or until it is fully charged (red light turns off). Then lift the Pill on and off the charging pad and it will activate the captive portal (green light will start to flash)
Please note, if your unit is extremely low battery and you put it on the wireless charging dock. It will not immediately go into the captive portal (green light flashing) Until it is atleast
Includes:
1 x USB-C Wireless Charging Coil
2 x Adhesive Weight Pads
1 x USB-A to USB-C cord (AU power plug not supplied)
1 x Black RAPT Wireless Charging Dock (USB-C)
NOTE: If you wanted to purchase the Pill Hydrometer with the wireless charger already fitted we would highly recommend you purchase this Wireless Charging Pill product where.

"A great upgrade to avoid recalibration after charging."
"Very good. Easy to charge, and holds charge well."
"Perfect accessory for Rapt Pill, no more opening for charging"
"While I love the concept the implementation is really quite fiddly and I managed to break one of the wires connecting the coil in my attempts to install it. There goes $40 on another barebones kit to try again. Ever so slightly thicker gauge wire or a better more flexible connection between the charging cable to the coil probably could have avoided this. Very frustrating."
"This is a game changer for tracking fermentation progress. No more mucking around with hydrometers and samples mid fermentation."
"Great ideas for wireless charging of the Rapt Pill"
"Love this thing! Cons: set up was fiddly, and the hardest part was that there were no instructions saying that the wireless version came with the battery "protected" from discharge with the little plastic sheets at the battery terminals. Pulled my hair out wondering why it would not hold charge for the 1st 24 hours! Probably my bad, just didn't realise the wireless version would be the same battery type as the normal one. Pros: After that, it has been amazing. Super accurate in both temp and gravity. Used with the RAPT temp controller and heat belt - this makes the fermentation stage a breeze. Couldn't go back. Being able to create and use personalised profiles is amazing."
"Works a treat"
"Great little wireless charger. Nice setup."
