Installing the batteries

The RBRfermata battery canisters ship with no batteries, unless requested otherwise at the time of order.

Always remove the batteries from the RBRfermata during long-term storage!

Doing so will prevent internal damage due to battery leakage and/or corrosion.

To install new batteries before deployment, open your RBRfermata.

Alkaline and nickel metal hydride batteries

When using alkaline or nickel metal hydride batteries, simply put them in the carrousel, ensuring correct polarity. These batteries are magnetic and hold in place with no additional steps required.

Lithium batteries

Lithium batteries do not have enough magnetic material to hold them together in assembly. Use the red retention bands provided with your RBRfermata, as shown.

Verify polarity before installing the batteries.
