In less than four hours, the built-in integrated rechargeable battery can deliver up to 24 charges on the go for Ponto 5 Mini users or up to 12 charges for Ponto 5 SuperPower users, supporting greater flexibility and confidence throughout the day. For Ponto 5 users, this can offer an added sense of security and peace of mind, knowing that power is available when and where it is needed.
