# Can I charge my MeatStick (2018) on The MeatStick (2020) charger?

While the micro-USB powered charger is optimized for this generation of Stick, the battery-powered charger from the 2020 version might not ensure full charging compatibility. We don't guarantee complete charging using the similar battery-powered charger. Attempting to activate the 2018 Stick on the battery charger is at your discretion and risk. The outcome depends on the battery condition of the Stick.
