The battery is the VE SLI-50 with a 48Wh capacity, which

is used to power the TM-RX. It can be used in either

orientation to simplify battery changes.

The battery incorporates a gas gauge circuit which

accurately measures the power in and out of the cell,

providing an accurate time remaining indicator, both

under charge and discharge conditions.

To check the power remaining in the battery simply press

the indicator button to get the power level to display on

the LED power level meter for several seconds.
