The Battery

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

Battery is an alternative method for paying network fees developed by the Tonkeeper team.

It can be used when there is no Toncoin in the balance, or when the amount is insufficient to cover the network fee. With it, you can send or swap tokens at any time by paying network costs using charges.

How does the Battery work?

Here’s how the Battery works: when you initiate a transaction, we estimate the required TON amount, credit it to your wallet, and then deduct the equivalent charges from your Battery balance.

How many charges are needed?

The number of charges depends on the transaction type:

At least 90 charges for token swaps
At least 30 charges for token transfers (applies to all tokens on the TON network).
At least 10 charges for NFT transfers
Up to 700 charges for USDT (TRC20) transfers

What transactions can you use the Battery for?

The Battery can be used for the following operations:

Swaps in a "token + token" pair (e.g., DOGS to HMSTR) or "token + TON" pair (e.g., DOGS to TON)
Transfers of USDT (TRC20) and any TON-based tokens
NFT transfers

📌 The Battery does not cover Toncoin transfers.

How to charge the Battery?

You can buy Battery charges in a few ways:

With Toncoin and tokens based on TON:

Go to the Battery page (Settings > Battery).
Select the token you want to use for purchasing charges: TON, USDT, jUSDT, NOT, DOGS, CATI, CATS, tsTON, X, MAJOR, PX, BUILD, HMSTR, MEMHASH.
Enter a purchase amount equivalent to $3. For example, if you are buying charges with NOT, the number of tokens should equal $3 at the current rate.

With a bank card via the App Store or Google Play:

Go to the Battery page.
Select a suitable plan (large, medium, or small) and tap the amount next to it.
Make sure your Apple or Google Play account has sufficient funds and confirm the purchase.

Can you get a refund for the Battery?

You can request a refund for a Battery purchase within 14 days of the purchase. The process depends on the payment method:

If you paid with TON or tokens:

Go to Settings > Battery.
Tap 'Charge History'.
Find the transaction (within the last 14 days) and tap 'Details'.

If you paid via the App Store or Google Play:

You need to request a refund directly from Apple or Google, as Tonkeeper cannot handle in-app purchase refunds.
