In the Box and Charging

Current Founders Edition packaging is simple.

  • A finished StepSprite device, ready to pair and wear
  • An adjustable ankle strap
  • The iPhone app for workouts, stats, firmware updates, and Apple Health sync

StepSprite is not meant to arrive as a bag of parts. The normal customer flow is: charge it, pair it, and wear it.

  • StepSprite charges over USB-C.
  • You do not need a proprietary cable.
  • Use a standard 5V USB-C power source.
  • If the device is new to you, give it a full charge before your first longer day.

The current customer-facing estimate is up to 50 hours on a charge.

Real battery life depends on how you use it:

  • frequent syncing means more Bluetooth activity
  • longer periods away from the app usually use less phone-side activity
  • firmware updates and repeated reconnect attempts use more power than normal wear

Battery percentage in the app is an estimate based on the device’s voltage reading.

That is useful for everyday decisions like “charge it tonight” or “I can wait until tomorrow,” but do not treat it like precision instrumentation.

  • Charge before firmware updates if you are below 20%.
  • Charge if the app warns that the battery is low or critical.
  • If StepSprite will not reconnect after a long day, charge it before you do anything more complicated.
  • StepSprite is not waterproof.
  • Avoid crushing, bending, or opening the device.
  • If you use unsupported firmware, you may need extra recovery steps and warranty coverage may not apply.
