dataPAC Battery Pack and Charger
This section discusses checking and charging your battery. The dataPAC battery packs are
located inside compartments in the back of the dataPAC.
With a full charge, the batteries provide over eight hours of data collection time under
normal conditions. Using the backlight causes the battery to lose power more quickly.
Checking Battery Life
You can check the battery life of the battery in the data collector by noting the number in the
upper right corner of the display.
The battery level indicator shows the relative strength of the batteries based on the
following table.
