Long-life Battery

When you’re sailing hard, the last thing you want to have to think about is the battery in your
compass. That’s why we gave the Atlas 2 the longest battery life in the business, BY FAR. Over
100 hours on a wireless charge. Forget your charging pad? Use any Qi compatible charging
pad, like the one you might use for your phone. And if you ever run low, you can get a full day of
battery life while charging during breakfast. Even better, we sourced a battery so capable that
we could design the Atlas 2 to never drain the battery to near empty, or charge fully. This
scheme maximizes the battery longevity of your Atlas 2. You’ll never have to worry about it.
Ever.

Dual Waterproof Speakers

Often the Atlas 2 will want to get your attention when you’re not looking. And the best way to do
that is sound. Lots of it. So the Atlas 2 has a pair of loudspeakers built into the bottom of the
case, protected by a clever waterproof membrane. Sound can get out, but water cannot get it.
Volume and sounds are customizable in the Connect app, naturally. Look for more sound
options in future versions of Vakaros Connect.
