5. Manteniment

5.1. Temperature Resilience

The M550 Pro is powered by a super capacitor, not a lithium-ion battery. This design choice enhances its durability and safety, allowing it to operate reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to +158°F (+70°C). This prevents internal damage and extends the camera's lifespan compared to devices with traditional batteries.
