Heltec MeshPocket

Overview

The Heltec MeshPocket is a uniquely designed device that combines a Qi2 magnetic wireless charging power bank with a fully functional Meshtastic mesh communication node. It integrates a Nordic nRF52840 MCU for Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and a Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver capable of reaching up to 10km range, all while serving as an everyday portable charger for your phone and other devices.

The device features a 2.13-inch monochrome e-ink display that provides clear visibility in direct sunlight while consuming virtually zero power between refreshes — a significant advantage over OLED-based mesh nodes. Community testing shows the MeshPocket can operate for up to a week between charges when used primarily for Meshtastic mesh networking, thanks to the ultra-low-power nRF52840 platform and e-ink technology.

MeshPocket ships preloaded with Meshtastic firmware and supports over-the-air updates via the Meshtastic web flasher. For developers, custom firmware can be flashed through the side-mounted magnetic pogo pin interface by entering DFU mode with a double-press of the RST button. The device pairs with your phone via Bluetooth for message composition and GPS location sharing through the Meshtastic app, making it a true plug-and-play off-grid communication solution that you carry as your daily power bank.

Available in two battery capacities (5000mAh at 140g and 10000mAh at 220g) and two colors (Yellow and Grey), the MeshPocket supports simultaneous wireless and wired charging/discharging with comprehensive protection circuitry including overvoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, and temperature monitoring.
