NiCd and NiMH batteries

The Leica Geosystems GEB111 and GEB121 batteries have four contact surfaces, whereas
camcorder batteries made by third parties only have three. The charger can distinguish between these
two types of batteries and adjust the charging process accordingly.

• Type of battery: NiCd or NiMH
• Minimum capacity: NiCd 1500 mAh, NiMH 1800 mAh
• Compatible contacts in the correct sequence, i.e. "+, T, -" in one line.
Camcorder batteries that meet these specifications are monitored for temperature and charged with a
current of 1.6 A.

GDI222 battery bay.
2. Press it downwards until it clicks into place.
