The Battery

What is the Battery, and what is it used for?

Battery is a feature in Tonkeeper that allows you to make transactions even with a zero TON balance.

In the TON blockchain, each transaction requires a network fee, paid in Toncoin (TON). However, with Battery, you can cover this fee if there’s no TON on your balance or if buying TON isn’t possible or convenient at the moment.

With Battery, you can send or swap any token (such as USDT) without needing TON. It’s a great tool that makes using the wallet easier and can come in handy just when you need it. :)

How does the Battery work?

The way the Battery works can be described as follows: when you sign a transaction, we estimate its cost, and then we deduct charges from your Battery account to cover the network fee. Thus, you may need about 50 charges to swap tokens (~120 charges to swap HMSTR), about 10 charges to transfer tokens (~30 charges to transfer HMSTR), and around 4 charges to transfer NFTs.

What transactions can you use the Battery for?

The Battery can be used for the following operations:

Token-to-token swaps (e.g., DOGS to HMSTR) or token-to-TON swaps (e.g., DOGS to TON).
Token transfers (e.g., sending USDT to an exchange).
NFT transfers.

📌 The Battery does not apply to Toncoin (TON) transfers; it only covers token transfers and swaps. :)
