How long should my Ember battery last?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

When it comes to the battery life of the Ember mug, I can share my personal experience and provide you with some details. Please note that this is based on my usage and may vary for different individuals.

So, let’s talk about the battery life. Without using the charging coaster, you can expect the Ember mug to last for about three hours when in use. However, this can vary depending on a few factors such as the pour temperature, ambient temperature, and the desired temperature.

If you prefer your beverage to be at a higher temperature, it might consume more battery power and, as a result, reduce the overall battery life. On the other hand, if you’re keeping your drink at a lower temperature, it may not drain the battery as quickly.

Additionally, the ambient temperature can also affect the battery life. If you’re using the Ember mug in a colder environment, it might need to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, leading to a faster battery drain. Conversely, in a warmer environment, the mug may not need to use as much energy to keep your drink at the desired temperature, resulting in a longer battery life.

It’s important to note that these factors can have different effects on the battery life, and it’s difficult to provide a precise estimate for everyone. However, based on my usage, I’ve found that a target temperature of around 54.4°C (130°F) tends to give me a battery life of about three hours.

To help you understand better, let me give you an example from my personal experience. On a typical morning, I pour my coffee into the Ember mug, and it takes about 5-10 minutes to reach my desired temperature. Once it’s at the right temperature, I start using the mug, sipping my coffee over the course of a few hours. By the end of those three hours, the battery usually runs out, and I need to charge it or use the charging coaster.

The battery life of the Ember mug can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. Based on my experience, you can expect around three hours of battery life when using the mug without the charging coaster at a target temperature of approximately 54.4°C (130°F). It’s always a good idea to have the charging coaster handy or charge the mug when not in use to ensure you have enough battery power for your desired duration.
