The charging process for the M150 involves connecting it to either its base or directly into a wall outlet using a USB-C cord. It takes about two hours to fully recharge when connected to a wall outlet, or approximately 2.5 hours on the dock. Once recharged, you can detach the station and take it with you.
One intriguing feature of the M150 is its ability to provide varying numbers of charges based on the connected hardware. For instance, it can fully recharge a laptop once, but it’s capable of charging smartphones up to six times. Smartwatches can receive a whopping 50 charges, while tablets get three charges, and drones four. However, we’re left wondering whether connecting multiple devices affects the station’s performance. If you connect a MacBook, iPhone, and Apple Watch to the M150, can it fully recharge the MacBook, or does the performance suffer due to multiple gadgets being attached? We’ve reached out to Duracell for answers to these and other questions, including whether there are plans for international launches and the availability of magnetic rings for smartphones.
