DEEP TREKKER DTG2 USER MANUAL 

 
 

DEEP TREKKER INC.

Charging the DTG2 controller must be done when the unit is safely indoors in a dry environment.  The 
controller is powered by a separate built-in battery pack that will require a charge approximately every 6 
hours of run time.  When the battery pack is low, the low controller battery LED will turn on.  If a charge 
is not given within several minutes of the LED warning, the battery will reach a critically low level and 
communication with the ROV will stop.  
To charge the controller, simply plug the controller charger into the charge port on the controller next to 
the tether.  Note that the controller charger is different from the ROV charger.  The difference in charger 
plugs makes them impossible to interchange. 

 

 

Fig. 7 

 

Note both the  ROV and Controller  chargers  are  ‘smart’, meaning there  will be no 

harm  in leaving the 

chargers plugged in overnight, or giving your DTG2 a quick charge for some extra life on your next dive.  

 
Leaving the batteries fully drained for long periods of time will cause permanent damage.  We 
recommend fully charging them every 6 months to ensure they do not fully self-discharge over time.
