The total capacity is split between two individual battery units, housed in each folding half, with a total 921Wh/L energy density. It is backed by 80W fast USB-C charging and 66W wireless charging. The phone can also charge other devices wirelessly thanks to support for Reverse Wireless Charging.

Apart from this, Honor Magic V6 is also the first foldable with an IP68 + IP69 rating.
