TAKE-E has compiled an easy-to-understand visual guide to IP dustproof and waterproof ratings, helping you grasp key points during selection and use correct cleaning methods to extend battery life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

What Do the Numbers Mean?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In TAKE-E's battery specifications, you will often see markings like \"IP68\", \"IP65\", or \"IPX6\".
