4.3 Replacing batteries
RBR ships new instruments with lithium thionyl chloride batteries included. Replace batteries before each deployment
to maximise the operational time and prevent data loss.
Ruskin software allows users to estimate the remaining battery life during deployment (assuming fresh batteries) by
tracking power consumption in mAh. See
Ruskin User Guide: Standard Loggers
for more information on predicting
battery life.
Replacing the batteries
Remove the battery end-cap. See

Remove the eight old AA-type cell batteries.
Insert eight new AA-type cell batteries.
Check for correct battery polarity.
Return the end-cap back in its place. See
