Charging 101: Magnetic vs USB-C, and Battery Care

There is nothing worse than reaching for your device only to find it dead. Modern lithium-ion batteries are powerful, but they need proper care to maintain their lifespan.

Magnetic vs. USB-C: Which is better?

Magnetic (like The Pod): Best for waterproofing. It allows for a seamless, hole-free design. However, ensure the magnetic points are dry before charging to prevent corrosion.
USB-C (like The Scepter): Best for convenience. You can use the same cable as your phone. Just remember: if it has a port, do not submerge it unless it has a specific waterproof flap.

The "Storage Charge" Rule

If you aren't planning to use a device for a while (like during a long trip), do not store it at 0% or 100%.

Store it at roughly 50% charge. This keeps the battery chemistry stable. Also, try to charge your devices at least once every 3 months, even if not in use, to prevent "deep discharge" death.

Safety First

Never use a "Fast Charger" (like a MacBook brick) for small toys. The high voltage can fry the small circuit board. Stick to standard 5V/1A adapters or computer USB ports.
