How long does a gate charge last?
Updated 20 October 2026
Applies to: G4 timing gates. For UNO, DUO and NEO gates, see How long does a DNA gate charge last?
How long a G4 gate runs per charge depends on how it is used. Normal use gives more than 8 hours per charge.
G4 gates charge wirelessly, which limits how fast they can charge. A completely flat gate takes 7 to 8 hours to fully charge; a gate that is only part flat takes proportionally less time. Charging overnight before a testing day is the simplest routine.
