The vast majority of Astera lights have built-in batteries; however, with QuikBeam, you can swap batteries in seconds, charge multiple QuikBricks at once, or run entirely without one by using PoE. It supports three charging methods: via PoE while wired, in the ChargingDock, or through its USB-C port.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) combines power and data in a single cable, simplifying setups, reducing clutter, and giving you more flexibility. It’s a widely used and future-ready technology that integrates seamlessly with existing networks.
