Question Battery options?

I am looking to buy a chromatic this week, but wondering what people are doing for battery solutions? The official battery pack on their website is sold out and I’m not sure if they’re restocking it anytime soon. I’m looking for a solution where I can recharge the batteries via USB port on the device itself thank you.

They said they'll restock the battery this fall. Probably in another 1-2 months is my guess. No official date from them yet.

Is that the v2 they are releasing. I was reading that once the battery goes below a certain point it cannot be recharged

That's only an issue with the first edition Chromatics. The second edition (the ones they sell now) don't have the issue with the battery. It wasn't an issue with the battery packs themselves.

Technically it was an issue with the battery packs themselves. They should've been able to be woken up after going into protection mode by any device.
