Good Day,
I’m looking to set up an onsite base for a longer term project and am looking at power options. The easiest thing in my mind is hooking it up to a solar-powered battery bank and feeding it via the USB-C connection. I wanted to make sure that this would be a weatherproof connection and wouldn’t cause any water-related issues if set up this way.

Best to use CBL101 LEMO connector with POWER and DATA (the other 2 DB9 connectors are DATA only, NO power):
Buy Reach RS+/RS2 cable 2m w/o 2nd connector – Emlid Store US
Hi @chasee,
Our field-ready receivers have IP67 protection to save them from water and dust inside. They are often used as a permanent base, so I recommend looking through other threads discussing this topic, for example, here or here to check some particular examples.
In general, I’d say that such a setup should be maintained similarly to any other electrical equipment in terms of its protection from the weather. Charging Reach via USB and the external bottom connector with this cable have no difference in terms of being protected from environmental conditions. Also, in both cases, the connector should be safe from water.
