8 RTK Mapping
If you already own the GPS receivers and batteries, the following
informationwillhelptodeterminewhichtypeofbatteriestouse:
When setting up a base receiver, make sure that the chosen
power source can provide an uninterrupted supply for the
duration of the survey. This is particularly important if your
base receiver is normally left unattended. Generally, a 6 AH or
10 AH battery will do, but for some applications a heavy-duty
battery and general purpose battery cable may be the only
reliable option.
For roving receivers, make sure that the batteries are light
enough to be carried for long periods. Camcorder batteries
provide a reliable supply while adding minimal weight.
