2.2.1
BATTERY TYPES ( "PRO" MODELS )
The Digifly instrument "PRO" models (Cartesio Pro BT , Leonardo Pro and Leonardo Pro
BT ) are supplied with a high power, fully independent, automatic double battery system:
The main power is supplied by an internal rechargeable lithium battery (supplied as
standard) with a full recharge time of only 3 hours. This battery has no memory effect,
so it can be partially recharged, it also has a very low self discharge rate (more than one
year) and works very well at low temperatures. Battery life ranges from 30 hours to 200
hours depending on whether GPS or Bluetooth has been activated.
The backup battery is a high power non-rechargable 1.5 volt AA size battery. This battery
is situated in the removable battery "slot" and can also be replaced with other 1.5 volt
AA size batteries. To change this battery you will need a flat-blade screwdriver to
unscrew the battery cover on the rear of the vario. Rechargeable batteries can be used,
though are not recommended for the backup battery system because of their high self
discharge rate (after 2 months they are completely discharged and useless). If using a
rechargable backup battery, note that this battery is not recharged by the instrument
but has to be removed and recharged externally by the user. The backup battery life
ranges from 20 hours to 200 hours depending on whether GPS or Bluetooth has been
activated
