Charging and power modes
It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the Ranger 5 / TSC5 internal batteries from an empty
state using the AC adapter and USB-C to USB-C cable included in the packout. If you are using the
optional user replaceable accessory battery pack, it may be charged while installed in the device or
externally. While installed in the device, the total time to fully charge both internal and accessory
batteries, when in an empty state, is approximately 8 hours. It may take longer if you are using your
device for power-intensive activities, for example using GNSS or processing a lot of data while you
are charging it.
For details on other charging options and charge time for the accessory battery pack, see the section
