2 vLoc3 RTK-Pro Receiver
2.8 RTK-Pro Battery Consumption
The vLoc3-RTK has considerably more electrical circuitry than a standard vLoc3 receiver, so the
battery's power drain is considerably more.
Assure that you have a full day’s charge in the battery by remembering to put the unit on charge the
night before undertaking a full day’s work.
Alternatively, a spare receiver battery can be purchased.
