# Battery Life

What is the expected life of the battery?

The VIBE battery is a Lithium non-replaceable battery.

The VIBE case can not be opened by design, because some of the electronics and coils could easily get damaged, so we don't want customers replacing batteries.

While there isn't a fixed percentage of capacity remaining that applies universally to lithium-ion batteries after 1000 cycles, it's not uncommon for batteries to retain around 80% or more of their original capacity under normal usage conditions and with proper care.

Depth of Discharge: Batteries that undergo shallow discharge cycles tend to retain more capacity over their lifespan compared to those subjected to deeper discharge cycles.

Charging Practices: Charging habits, such as fast charging and charging to full capacity frequently, and running it to 0%, can accelerate battery degradation, resulting in a greater loss of capacity over time.

The VIBE should be good for well over 1000 charges, it just that over time it may have to be recharged more often.

It functions much like a cell phone battery or lithium battery on other electronics. Over time the charge may not last as long.
