Reach RS2 Not Charging: Repair the Battery Circuit or Source a Replacement PCB?

Two of our RS2 units have a faulty battery-charging system. We believe this is due to repeated use of the charging port, which has stopped making good contact because of the saline environment; the operators likely forced the connector. I would like to know if it is possible to purchase the charging boards separately so we can replace them inside the antenna.

this will not solve your immediate request… but after you do hopefully find a solution, it may be a good idea to use a magnetic connector to keep wear and tear down on the unit itself. Good luck getting parts like this from Emlid like this. They really should sell certain things like other precision product manufacturers do or at least a Extended Warranty and/or repair / exchange / rent service . Maybe try @ceith

Something like this?

Hi Javier,

We don’t sell a charging board separately. Is the device still operational? For a workaround, you can charge the RS2 using the external bottom connector.
