Robot and Marker - CX and C Series Robots: Charging the Robot and the Marker

The Swivl C Series and CX bases and markers have a battery life of 4-6 hours under normal use cases, but it could depend on various factors.

You can check your Swivl base and marker charging status by taking a look at the charging indicators at the back:

solid green light: fully charged
blinking green: more than 40%
blinking red: less than 40%
