Batteries & Rechargeable Batteries: For Your Outdoor Devices

Choose batteries and rechargeable batteries based on your plans and the demands of your trip. Batteries and rechargeable batteries must be compatible with your device. Size alone isn’t enough; voltage, technology, and manufacturer approval are also important. For rechargeable batteries, make sure you have the right charger. Plan for your power needs based on usage time, and keep the contacts protected during transport. Damaged batteries don’t belong in your travel gear.

Spare Batteries: Selection Criteria

• Format: Match the form factor to your device. Include your existing equipment in your comparison.
• Approval: Check permitted cell types and voltage. Test the handling before first use, if possible.
• Charging: Use a compatible charger. Compare the options for your specific planned use.
• Transport: Protect the contacts. Pay attention to the specifications for the specific model you’re considering.

Plan Power and Operation Before Your Trip

Check devices and accessories as an integrated system. The connector type, power supply, and desired functions should be compatible. For longer trips, it’s important to know when and where recharging is possible. Test the operation before departure, including while wearing the clothing you plan to use. Keep important manuals and follow the care and storage instructions. Having an independent power reserve is especially useful when multiple important functions rely on the same power source.
