Water resistance
Card 5 has an IP66 water-resistance rating. This means it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets from any direction.
Important: Card 5 is water-resistant, not waterproof. Do not submerge it or expose it to water for extended periods, as this may damage its internal components.
Battery life and wireless charging
Card 5 has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 18 months per charge. Actual battery life depends on use, Bluetooth activity, and environmental conditions.
The Card 5 charger is not included.
MagSafe compatibility
Important: Card 5 is not officially MagSafe-compatible. It does not contain alignment magnets, so it will not snap into place or automatically center itself on a MagSafe charger. Some MagSafe or magnetic wireless chargers may still charge Card 5 when it is positioned correctly, but compatibility varies by charger and cannot be guaranteed.
When using a magnetic wireless charger, manually position Card 5 over the charger’s charging area. If charging does not begin, adjust its position or try a different wireless charger.
