How long do the rechargeable batteries in my Tacktick instruments last?
The batteries are affected by discharge and the life of the batteries used is not measured in time but in cycles of charge and discharge. In normal operation the Micronet displays operate at a very low discarge level as they are continually charged by daylight. If the batteries are continually drained flat then recharged again, then the overall life will be reduced but this is not part of their normal operating range. However most Tacktick instruments have replaceable batteries so in the unlikley event of a total battery failure the unit can be serviced by any Tacktick distributor.
