"The SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable is available now through the company's online store and Amazon for $33.99, compared to $29.99 for the original version. While they're available for just a couple of bucks each if you buy a multipack, the SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable will be cheaper in the long run if you use it for a while."
"The wirelessly controlled SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable can be installed by simply sticking it to a button or rocker switch that it will physically press using a small arm that extends and retracts. The rechargeable alternative has its own USB-C port on the side for connecting to power to charge it back up."
"While the standard version's battery life is estimated to be up to 600 days when the bot is used twice per day, for the rechargeable version, it's just six months with just one press per day."
SwitchBot has launched a new version of its button-pressing robot, the SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable, which features a rechargeable battery instead of a disposable one. Priced at $33.99, it is slightly more expensive than the original model at $29.99. The rechargeable version is designed for long-term use, as it can be charged via a USB-C port. However, it has a significantly shorter battery life of six months compared to the original's 600 days, making it less efficient for infrequent use.
