Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

I read that as it will only disconnect the battery if a fault is found, so under normal conditions then the battery is not disconnected. It's ambiguous to me

Well he does say 'as it will go in to desktop mode' after that which means the battery is not connected in that mode. It could be clearer, yes.

A quick search picked up the following from Rob Watts on desktop mode for Mojo 2:

When the battery is fully charged it will go into desktop mode - and unlike Hugo 2 the battery is disconnected to preserve battery life. That meant I had to improve the PSU regulation/rejection and design the charger so that when in desktop mode it was a low impedance high current power source.

Hey @Rob Watts, can you confirm if Mojo 2 draws power directly from the plug when in desktop mode? Thx.

When in desktop mode the battery is completely isolated, so power only comes from the charger circuit, in this case a low impedance high current regulator replaces the battery and provides power to the device.

When it's in desktop mode the battery is disconnected, and power only comes from the charger, via Mojo 2's PSU regulator.

Every 11 days the battery will get a trickle charge top-up when in continuous desktop mode.

Perfect thank you

When in desktop mode, do not switch off the device! keep it on all the time.

I get the purple desktop mode light with the unit off. It also doesn’t take 24 hours plugged in to get into desktop mode like the Hugo 2. It is a different smart charging system. I like it much better than the Hugo 2. I’m sure you’ll see it in the Hugo 3.

strange people ... the instructions say that in the desktop mode, mojo 2 intelligently manages the battery charge and no more - no separate power scheme, Chord support officially answers that there is no separate power scheme in mojo 2, and the battery is always used, smart mode the desktop only charges it intellectually ... but no - people continue to believe in fairy tales about 24 hours and bypassing the battery ... no comment

Not so strange people

Guys, do you think Poly 2 will come out anytime soon? I hate Poly engineering, but as for now, it is the best streaming option for Mojo 2.

Doubt it. What would they improve enough to come out with another one?

I would like to see type C charging port, faster charging rate, and longer battery life. A play/Pause/ next/previous button is a welcoming addition but I don't see that will happen on Poly.

Some are still waiting for Spotify Connect and a current version of MPD on the OG Poly, so a Poly v2 seems unlikely to me

I would be happy if we get a software update. For long press skip track… and a way to select songs directly with a new GoFigure app

Yeah, I think they need to pay more addition to updates via software/firmware for the Poly for sure.

That would have to be the daftest design and marketing plan ever.

Make the Mojo 2 with outdated connectivity to accommodate the outdated Poly then release a Poly 2 with outdated connectivity to match that of the Mojo 2.

It seems the Mojo 2 doesn't go into desktop mode when charging and connected to the source seperately (via 2 cables) vs charging and connected with same cable, or am I missing something.

It's not possible to charge with the same signal cable at all, there is a separate charge port only for charging so the last part of your question doesn't make sense.
