Question 1

How is battery lifespan?

Answer

If you charge an Idem card one time per month, the battery will still have 80% of the original capacity after ten years. In other words, the operation time will be decreased by ~20%, but the battery will be still alive. However, if you charge an Idem card every day, the battery life cycle would be around two years. Therefore, please do not charge your Idem card frequently. If possible, please charge your Idem Card until the low battery indicator LED is flashing.

Question 2

Can I use conventional smart card printer to print Idem Card?

Answer

No. We do not recommend using conventional card printer since there is battery in Idem Card and conventional card printer will cause high temperature which is harmful to battery.
