USB rechargeable: Meaning, Uses and What to Buy

USB rechargeable means a toy has a built-in battery that you charge from any USB socket, laptop or phone adapter, using either a USB-C port or a magnetic cable. A full charge usually takes one to two hours and lasts around an hour of use. It saves buying batteries, and rechargeable toys often have stronger motors.

Why it matters when buying

Battery toys are cheaper to buy, but cells add up over a year, and rechargeable toys tend to be stronger and better sealed. The catch is that you need to charge before use, so check the run time and charging time on the product page.

What to look for

  • USB-C or magnetic charging stated on the listing
  • Charging time and run time on the product page
  • A charge indicator light
  • A travel lock if it lives in your bag
