TL;DR
Oura has introduced a $99 travel charging case for the Oura Ring 4 that holds an internal battery capable of recharging the ring up to five times. The aluminum, splash‑resistant case uses USB‑C, shows charge status with front LEDs, and is sized specifically for Ring 4 models.
What happened
Oura unveiled a purpose-built travel charging case for the Oura Ring 4, positioned as an alternative to carrying the ring’s desktop charging plinth on trips. The compact aluminum case includes an internal battery that, once charged, can recharge an Oura Ring 4 up to five times; the ring itself takes up to 80 minutes for a full charge and the case recharges via USB‑C in about 90 minutes. Front LEDs indicate the case’s remaining charge and switch to show the ring’s charging status when a ring is docked. The accessory is splash resistant and doubles as a protective container when the ring is not being worn. It is compatible only with Oura Ring 4 models — both the standard and Ceramic versions — and because the case is sized to specific ring dimensions, each differently sized Ring 4 requires its own case. The charging case is priced at $99.
Why it matters
- Extends the practical time between wall charges for travelers by providing multiple on‑the‑go recharges.
- Reduces the need to pack the original charging plinth, saving space and simplifying travel kits.
- Design and indicators help protect and monitor ring battery status while away from a power source.
- Compatibility limitations mean owners of older Oura rings or households with mixed ring sizes must plan separately.
