Charging the removable accessory battery pack separately from the Ranger 5 data collector

If you are using the optional Li-35 user-replaceable accessory battery pack, you can charge it while installed in the device, or externally. To charge the battery pack while installed in the device, see Charging the internal batteries and the optional Li-35 accessory battery pack while installed in the Ranger 5 data collector.

You can charge the accessory battery pack outside the device using the AC adapter and USB-C to USB-C cable included in the packout.

Charging the battery pack using the AC adapter and USB‑C to USB‑C cable included in the packout

It takes approximately 10 hours to fully charge the accessory battery pack from an empty state using the AC adapter and USB‑C to USB‑C cable included in the packout, while charging outside of the device. Charging the battery pack using a 3rd party USB‑C charger may increase the charge time. For best results, Spectra Geospatial recommends using the USB‑C charger and cable provided in the packout.

  1. Connect the appropriate international plug adapter for your region to the AC adapter.

  2. Connect one end of the USB‑C to USB‑C cable to the USB‑C port located on the AC adaptor.

  3. Connect the other end of the USB‑C cable to the accessory battery pack. The accessory battery pack is charged using the USB‑C port directly on the battery pack.

  4. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.

The Li-35 battery fits into the dual slot battery charger, P/N 109000, but due to firmware incompatibility the battery only trickle-charges so it is not recommended to use the office charger with the Li‑35 battery.
