- 2.13″ e-ink display for sun-readable, ultra-low-power status and Meshtastic information.
- Multiple protection circuits for over-/undervoltage, over-current, short-circuit, temperature, and charge timeout.
- Full custom firmware support for developers who want to build their own applications on nRF52840 + SX1262.
- Designed to work seamlessly with Meshtastic – a true “everyday carry” Meshtastic node and power bank in one device.
MeshPocket – Power Bank and Meshtastic Node in One
Unlike a traditional power bank, MeshPocket also acts as a low-power LoRa communication device.
The integrated SX1262 radio and nRF52840 MCU let you send and receive Meshtastic messages over long
distances – even when mobile networks are down. Meanwhile, the Qi2 magnetic charger and USB-C port
keep your phone topped up throughout the day.
The 2.13″ e-ink display shows battery status and Meshtastic information clearly, even in bright sunlight,
with minimal impact on battery life. Choose the 5000 mAh version for a slimmer EDC form factor, or the
10000 mAh version for extended trips and multi-day events.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. What is the MeshPocket Qi2? | MeshPocket Qi2 is a compact, battery-powered LoRa + BLE communicator built on the nRF52840 and SX1262. It includes Qi2 wireless charging, USB-C, and an onboard antenna, making it ideal as a portable Meshtastic node. |
| 2. What is the difference between Qi and Qi2? | Qi2 is the newer wireless charging standard with magnetic alignment and improved charging efficiency. MeshPocket Qi2 supports fast magnetic wireless charging plus standard USB-C wired charging. |
| 3. Does MeshPocket Qi2 support Meshtastic? | Yes. MeshPocket Qi2 is designed specifically for Meshtastic and is fully compatible with official firmware. You can flash Meshtastic using the Web Flasher or other supported tools. |
| 4. How long does the battery last? | Battery life depends on transmit interval and LoRa output power. In typical Meshtastic standby use, runtime spans from several days to multiple weeks. Qi2 wireless charging makes daily top-ups very convenient. |
| 5. How do I charge it? | You can charge MeshPocket Qi2 in two ways: • Qi2 wireless charging using any Qi2 magnetic charger • USB-C wired charging for faster charging and firmware updates |
| 6. Does it have GPS? | No. MeshPocket Qi2 is a compact device focused on messaging, mesh networking and portability. For GPS, consider Wireless Tracker or MeshTower. |
| 7. Is the antenna internal or external? | MeshPocket Qi2 uses a built-in high-efficiency antenna optimized for handheld use. There is no external SMA or IPEX connector, keeping the device pocket-friendly. |
| 8. How do I enter bootloader mode? | Hold the BOOT button, press RESET, then release BOOT. Alternatively, use USB-C and the Meshtastic Web Flasher which can trigger boot mode automatically. |
| 9. Is MeshPocket Qi2 waterproof? | No. MeshPocket Qi2 is designed for everyday carry and indoor/outdoor casual use, but it is not rated for rain or immersion. |
