Power and Charging Information for the ELO Vagabond Controller

The ELO Vagabond is designed to deliver a seamless gaming experience without the need for additional charging. Here’s what you need to know about its power setup:

  1. No Internal Battery Required
    Unlike many controllers, the ELO Vagabond does not have an internal battery, so there’s no need to charge the controller itself. It draws minimal power directly from your phone, ensuring it won’t noticeably impact your phone’s battery life.

  2. Low Power Consumption
    The controller’s power draw is extremely efficient, utilizing only a small fraction of your phone's battery. While gaming on your phone typically consumes battery due to graphics, networking, and audio, the controller itself has a negligible effect.

  3. Pass-Through Charging Port
    For uninterrupted gaming sessions, the ELO Vagabond includes a pass-through charging port. This feature allows you to charge your phone while playing, ensuring your phone stays powered up during extended gameplay.




Quick Summary:

  • No charging needed for the ELO Vagabond itself.
  • Minimal power draw from your phone.
  • Pass-through charging port for charging your phone while gaming.
