BATTERY
The main power is supplied by an internal rechargeable high capacity lithium battery, which has no memory
effect, so it can be partially recharged, without affecting the battery’s life. It also has a very low self-discharge
rate (about six months) and works very well at low temperatures. A fully charged battery will power the
instrument for over 30 hours: when the battery icon starts to flash, you have approximately 4 hours left of
battery power.
Make sure your instrument is fully charged any time you put store it for a longer period of time (e.g. end of the
flying season) or any time you know you won’t be using it for a while.
To avoid permanent battery damage, you must ensure that it receives a full charge within 3 months of the last
full charge.
2.2.1
BATTERY RECHARGE
To recharge the instrument, connect it to a power source with the USB cable.
Input: DC 5v is required and a 1A is recommended.
The required time for a full charge is about 8 hours.
There are no problems if you leave the vario charging for more than 8 hours, as the vario automatically switches
to a “maintain mode” preventing the battery from being overcharged.
The Digifly AIR’s lithium battery has no “memory effect”, so it can be also partially charged.
