Battery care
The XDL ROVER 2 has an internal power supply that allows all-day operation without
taking power from the GNSS receiver. The light-weight Lithium-ion single-cell battery can
be recharged more than 1,000 times, providing 3+ years of normal use.
For best battery life and performance always recharge the battery after every use. If the XDL
ROVER 2 is stored, you must recharge the battery every 3 - 6 months.
WARNING
– The internal Lithium-Ion battery is NOT USER SERVICEABLE. Do not attempt
to open the enclosure or replace the battery. Lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous if
mishandled. All warranty will be void if the XDL ROVER 2 is opened by anyone except
authorized service personnel.
Charging the Internal Battery
It is important to recharge the battery after every use, or every 3 months during periods of
non-use.
The XDL ROVER 2 has built-in circuitry that monitors and controls the charging of
the internal battery. The internal battery quickly charges in less than 4 hours with the
supplied charger. We recommend charging the internal battery at room temperature.
Charging is inhibited if the ambient temperature is below 0 °C or above 25 °C.
• To charge the XDL ROVER 2 use the provided charger (C03155) and cable
(P/N 100948-00).
• The XDL ROVER 2 can also charge its internal battery from any data cable that
provides power to the radio.
• The green LED will begin to blink once every two seconds to indicate that the unit
is charging its internal battery.
• The XDL ROVER 2 will continue to operate while charging.
Note: The XDL ROVER 2 is designed to ignore external power inputs that are less than 11
VDC. If the unit is connected to a system running from a 12 VDC external battery pack,
when the voltage drops below 11 VDC, the XDL ROVER 2 will switch to its internal battery.
This allows the overall system to last longer as XDL ROVER 2 is now operating from its own
internal battery.
CAUTION – The internal battery must not be subject to operating temperatures below -20 °C.
Subjecting the battery to conditions below -20 °C will produce permanent battery damage,
and is not covered by the warranty.
