# Battery management

All of our electronic props are equipped with built-in Li-Ion batteries. Depending on the specific model, these batteries can last anywhere from 36 to 72 hours during gameplay. For charging, please use a standard USB-A charger. 

{% hint style="danger" %}
For charging, please use a standard USB charger with USB-A charging port. 

Props don't support the new USB-C chargers.

{% hint style="info" %}
Uptime is heavily influenced by a lot of factors, such as how often players are using the prop, game mode, or how often data is sent to the Ares Alpha servers. The above estimations are made by using a 5-minute server refresh in two teams Domination Mode.

If you want to extend the life of the prop, you can use an external battery power bank. Place the power bank inside the prop and use a USB-A to USB-C cable.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Only replace the built-in batteries if they are damaged!

To extend the life of props in the game, place inside of the box a power bank (see the above tip).&#x20;

If you replace the batteries, replace them only with new batteries. New batteries should be at least 3000mA, same manufacturer and same model. All new batteries must be fully charged before installation. Use an external Li-Ion charger to fully charge them.
