4.2 Batteries
4.2.1 Operating Principles
First-time Use /
Charging Batteries
• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is deliv-
ered with an energy content as low as possible.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C and +40°C/+32°F
and +104°F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low
ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the
temperature is too high.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recom-
mend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger
or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery
capacity available.
Operation /
Discharging
• The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating
temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.
4.2.2 Battery for GS14/GS16
Change Battery
Step-by-step
(GS14/GS16)
Step Description
The battery is inserted in the bottom part of the instrument.
1. Push the slide fastener of the battery compartment in the direction of the
arrow with the open-lock symbol.
2. Remove the cover from the battery compartment.
3. To remove the battery, push the battery slightly upwards and at the same
time pull out the bottom part of the battery. This releases the battery from
its fixed position.
4. To insert the battery, slide the battery into the cover of the battery
compartment with the battery contacts facing upwards. Push the battery
downwards so that it locks into position.
5. Insert the cover of the battery compartment into the compartment.
6. Push the slide fastener in the direction of the arrow with the close-lock
symbol.
