Solmetric or Pathfinder? [RE-wrenches]

[Michael Welch]

Hi gang. On behalf of Willard at Solmetric, I am posting this response to this thread:

Hi Wrenches,

thanks for the discussion about the Solmetric SunEye. I would like to address the issue of the non-removable battery in the SunEye.

It is true that it is not removable (by the user). However, it is a rechargeable high capacity L-ion battery that typically provides plenty of battery life for a full day of site analysis, and in most cases it will work for many days depending on the amount it is used--like a cell phone.  The battery level can be easily checked from the user interface before heading out into the field.  The readout gives the percentage from 0 to 100%, so you will know where you stand.

The SunEye will recharge when plugged into the wall or when attached to a computer (via the USP cable). Solmetric will soon be offering a car charger as well for those on the road or just in case it does happen to run out in the middle of the day.
