Batteries

The unique battery solution in the Rugby has two independent battery
compartments that will accept various combinations of NiMH packs or
individual D-cell batteries (2).
The battery status is displayed on power-up and as small icons on the
main operating screen.
Install the NiMH batteries (1) as shown on the label of the pack.
Install individual D-cell batteries (2) as shown on the battery door cover.
The charge jack (3) is located on the laser above the locking knob of the
battery door (4).
Charge time is approximately 4-5 hours.
The Rugby can also be run directly from a 12-volt source through the
charge jack.
• The batteries must be charged prior to using it for the first time
because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is between +32°F to
+104°F (0°C to +40°C). For optimal charging we recommend charging
the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +32°F to +68°F (0°C
to +20°C) if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using
the chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to
charge the battery if the temperature is too high.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
(> three months), it is effectual to make 3 - 5 charge/discharge cycle.
• The batteries can be operated from -4°F to +122°F (-20°C to +50°C).
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn;
very high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.
