31.5 hours of runtime. Yes, you read that right
In the tour guide technology industry, battery life has always been the limiting factor. Eight-hour runtimes. Constant recharging. Backup units on standby. Today, that changes.
We’re proud to announce the release of Hardware 3.01 for Unite bodypack devices, featuring an upgraded battery pack hat delivers up to 31.5 hours of continuous runtime. Significantly longer than most industry systems.
The battery problem, solved
Many tour guide systems struggle to deliver more than 8 hours of runtime, forcing operators to plan around mid-tour recharging or multiple battery swaps. Unite now operates for more than a full day on a single charge—eliminating these constraints entirely.
What changed: Hardware 3.01
Our engineering team optimized the power management system:
• Enhanced battery pack: New high-density cell configuration delivering 31.5-hour runtime in real-world conditions
• Smarter firmware: Improved battery estimation algorithms and real-time power monitoring
• Future-proof design: Backward compatible with existing Unite devices as an improved spare part
For your guests & existing customers
With 31.5 hours of receiver runtime, your visitors experience consistent, crystal-clear audio throughout extended tours and multi-day events. Receivers run continuously without interruption, while transmitter swaps after 13 hours happen seamlessly in the background—ensuring your guests never experience audio degradation or disrupted immersion. The new black battery pack is available as a spare part for all Unite devices and delivers improved performance across the board.
For your operations
Run full-day tours, evening events, and multi-day conferences without battery anxiety. Reduce backup equipment needs. Spend less time managing charging rotations and more time enhancing the guest experience.
| Unite Device | Old blue battery pack with existing HW | New black battery pack with existing HW | New black battery pack with new HW 3.01 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP Bodypack Transmitter | ~9.5 hrs | ~11.5 hrs | ~13 hrs |
| RP(-T) Bodypack Receiver | ~24 hrs | ~29.5 hrs | ~31.5 hrs |
Runtime comparison with factory default settings:
Important note: The new black battery pack replaces our previous blue battery pack, which is being phased out. If you need spare batteries, the new black battery pack is fully compatible with all Unite models.
