The improved Trimble Recon features an increase in battery capacity from 3,800mAh to 4,000mAh, with appreciably shorter charging time. A charge termination feature ends the charging cycle when the battery is at full capacity, preventing overcharging and prolonging the battery's life. The PowerBoot Module also reduces battery memory effect for field professionals who require frequent recharges. The Recon's high-resolution, sunlight-visible QVGA display shows graphics and maps in crisp detail even in the brightest outdoor environments.
