Emlid Team,
What is the suggested battery management charging for the RS3?
When to recharge?
Charge everyday regardless of battery state.?
Wait until the battery is at a specific level.?
thanks

Hi Boston,
Reach units use a LiFePO4 battery, which is pretty low-maintenance. Still, a few good habits:
- You can charge it anytime—no need to wait until it’s low
- Try not to let the battery drop below 20–30% too often
- Charging daily is fine if you’re using it regularly
If you’re putting the unit aside for a while:
- Charge it to around 60%
- Power it off (hold the power button for 3 seconds until the LED goes out)
- Store it at room temperature
- Recharge every 3 months to keep the battery healthy
