8 Powering the radEAGLET-R
The standard power source of the radEAGLET-R is a rechargeable black powerCELL ( 8.1.1 ,
p. 121 ) installed behind a locked cover on the left bottom (Fig. 127 , p. 121 ) of the instru-
ment.
To increase the field operation time you can swap the battery pack ( 8.2 , p. 122 ) even while
using the radEAGLET-R .
You can connect the radEAGLET-R to an external power source to run it and to charge the
installed standard battery ( 8.3 , p. 123 ).

8.1 radEAGLET-R Battery Packs
The radEAGLET-R comes with two different battery packs.
Additional battery packs in both variants are sold separately.
Batteries must be handled and disposed of properly as required in your jurisdiction.
8.1.1 Black powerCELL
The black powerCELL (Fig. 128 , p. 122 ) is a sealed box containing rechargeable cells. They
are recharged within the instrument whenever it is connected to external power.
A black powerCELL-L containing Lithium Ion cells is installed in the instrument when it leaves
the factory.
If you don’t want to use Li-Ion cells, you can order your radEAGLET-R with Nickel–metal
hydride cells (NiMH) with a very low self discharge (LSD).
Refer to the Battery section in Appendix E.1 , p. 153 for details on operating and charg-
ing durations.
