What types of batteries can I use?
Most RBR instruments use AA-type batteries, the only exception being the RBquartz3 Q | plus, which uses D.
Our instruments can use most battery chemistries. However, lithium thionyl chloride batteries are only recommended for T, D, T.D, C.T.D, and RBRquartz3 instruments. Any additional sensors will not work correctly on this type of battery.
Use Ruskin simulator to determine the best battery chemistry for your instrument. Select the instrument to simulate, and the battery dropdown menu will show all chemistry options available, sorted from highest to lowest capacity.
