Charging the Battery
BATTERY INFORMATION
The D3 is powered by an internal Li-Ion battery that provides at least 5.5 hours of use from full
charge when not connected to an external power source. The amount of time that the battery will
operate the D3 from a full charge will vary with temperature, GPS visibility, use of the external
GPS antenna, and the brightness setting. You can decrease the brightness and disable synthetic
vision to maximize battery life.
