Any standard USB-C charger tops up Butter Bot. The controller's batteries aren't rechargeable, but it runs from the same USB-C cable.

Charge Butter Bot before you use it for the first time.

Butter Bot

Any standard USB-C charger will do — the same kind you already use for most phones and laptops. Just plug it in; there's no special adapter to hunt down.

The controller

The controller's batteries aren't rechargeable — but you can plug the controller into USB-C and run it straight from that instead, using the cable as its power source.

So it's the same USB-C cable whether you're topping up Butter Bot or powering the controller.

And yes, it's safe to leave it charging on the desk — Can I leave Butter Bot charging on my desk?
