The Battery

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

Battery is a tool by Tonkeeper that makes it easier to use your wallet, allowing transactions even when your TON balance is zero. Since every wallet operation is a blockchain transaction that requires a Toncoin network fee, Battery steps in when you don't have enough TON. It lets you send or swap tokens anytime, covering network fees with 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 type of transaction. For example:

Token swaps require at least 90–120 charges.
Token transfers require at least 30 charges (~250 charges for USDT transfers on the TRC-20 network).
NFT transfers require about 4 charges.

What transactions can you use the Battery for?

The Battery can be used for the following operations:

Swapping tokens in a "token + token" pair (e.g., DOGS to HMSTR) or "token + TON" pair (e.g., DOGS to TON).
Sending tokens (e.g., transferring USDT to an exchange).
Transferring NFTs.

📌 The Battery does not cover Toncoin transfers.

How to charge the Battery?

You can buy Battery charges in a few ways:

Using tokens or 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 of at least $3.

📌 For example, if you charge the Battery using NOT, the token amount must be equivalent to $3, otherwise, the purchase will not go through.

Using 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?

Yes, every Tonkeeper user can request a refund for a Battery purchase within 14 days from the date of purchase. The refund process depends on the payment method used:

If you paid with TON or tokens:

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

If you paid via the App Store or Google Play, you’ll need to request a refund directly from Apple or Google, as Tonkeeper does not handle these refunds.
