Battery 3.3
The battery used by an Stream-C system provides power to the Control
Unit and, from there, to the Antenna, the Encoder, the antenna up/down
system, and the hauling system remote control (optional), if present; the
battery does not provide power to the laptop or the GPS, if present.
The Stream-C battery is a 12 V / 12 Ah rechargeable lead battery lodged in
the rear part of the system, between the arms of the handle at the
attachment with the main body (see Fig. 3.14).
