The TING pen has a built-in rechargeable battery with a capacity of 320mAh.
With a fully charged battery, continuous operation of 3 to 4 hours is possible with headphones or earphones connected and at least 2 hours via the built-in speaker.
These figures may vary depending on the ambient conditions (set volume, ambient temperature).
A completely discharged battery (the TING pen can no longer be switched on) must be recharged for approx. 1.5 hours.
The TING pen can be charged via the USB port of the computer, via the optional charger or a commercially available charger with a USB port (e.g. for smartphones).
The charger should be able to supply at least 1 ampere of charging current.
Proper functioning can only be guaranteed if the ambient temperature is between +5°C and +40°C and the storage temperature is between -20°C and +60°C during operation.
