Hi and wow...good questions. The PowerSafe is not waterproof; It is not NOAA standard -has powerful FM radio with seek button to pull in local frequencies; battery is self contained and no other batteries are required, if the battery ceases to function within 3 years contact us (DTC LifTools.com) with your order number and we will replace it (we are that confident you won't need batteries in that time); the connectors include a USB port, USB cable, and adapters for most mobile devices (I hesitate to say 'all' because there are so many!) Thanks! Don Carter, CEO, DTC LifeTools

No it doesn't so I use rechargeable batteries and have extras just in case. I love this weather radio! Just make sure you charge it from the units jack and not from the base. Our base doesn't work right but charging into the hand held works great for me. I hope this helps.

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

I believe this would be the best unit for just about anything including navigating water courses. It is water resistant but some people have submerged it in water and it was fine. It has the best and most affordable map package available compared to other brands, the battery life with lithiums is pretty good in comparison. Overall a very well built unit with all the bells and wistles. The only gripe I had was the small screen size but I have gotten used to it. Hope this answers your question.

I don't have an exact number for you.. I've only used mine a few times as I just got it 2 months ago.. I had it fully charged and went on a 6 hour kayak trip in the Everglades. I had it on the whole time and interacted with it every 10-15 minutes or so. When we pulled outta the water the indication showed well over half the battery life remaining. One thing I like about this GPS is that the included rechargeable battery has decent life, but even if it drains, you can use normal AA batteries. Compared to the Magellan Explorist that I have, this is far superior battery life.. But not a good comparison because the Explorist is AA batteries only, and the Garmin has a lithium battery pack.

It is rechargable, uses it's own USB cord and an adapter for itself so you will need a charging block or an available USB to charge. Will last as long as your typical Lithium-Ion battery will, but can be used for multiple phone charges before it needs to be recharged so it will last a while especially if only used for emergencies and long trips when you can't charge your phone or other device normally.

I just use normal batteries out of Walmart. The system is water proof so the water doesn't bother the battery. It is not rechargeable but the system is a great buy I love mine

No, it is not waterproof. Yes it is durable enough to bring on a long trip. However, you're likely better served by bringing a decent rechargeable battery. I own the Nomad 7 and Guide 10 combo. Bringing a USB rechargeable battery or two is cheaper, lighter, and takes up less bag space. Anker products offer amazing options (as a single example for half the cost of this unit you can get 20,000 mAh which is enough to charge an iPhone 6 seven times). If you are concerned with size and/or weight, and have USB chargeable items just get a battery. I can get away with 5,000 mAh for a three day trip using USB powered speakers, goal zero flashlight, and keeping my phone variable for pictures, video and music. No, it is not waterproof.

Yes, Mine gets wet by waves all the time. I also leave it on my yak in the rain. The fish-finder is in fact waterproof. The battery is fine if it gets wet as long as its not submerged for any extended time. I have accidental submerged the battery under with no adverse effect.

I ordered 2 of them and are still going strong after 6 months. There are Orings that seal the actual tube for the batteries but how water resistant it is I am not sure. I would say rain would be fine but going for a swim would not be a good idea

Actually, it takes a single rechargeable 18650 lithium ion battery which is 3.7 volts. You'll need to purchase the battery and charger separately. I recommend the green Panasonic battery for reasons to long to explain here. While the flashlight is not as bright as it claims to be, it is still very bright and has a pretty focused beam. The biggest problem is the waterproof claim. It will leak if you don't replace the o-rings. At greater depths, the flawed design of having the o-ring in front of the glass instead of behind it causes it to definitely leak no matter the o-ring. Good for snorkeling perhaps but not for scuba. I destroyed mine trying. Actually, it takes a single rechargeable 18650 lithium ion battery which is 3.7 volts. You'll need to purchase the battery and charger separately.

yes they are waterproof to a point.. I have sank this one. it dryed and still runs. It will stop if the batt plugs get wet. This a awesome boat!!!! buy it. you will love it. The charger it comes with is junk. Get a "Losi mini peak charger". It will burn up motors if it does not have small vent holes. Heat seems WAY more dangerous than Wet on these newer boats. I even put a 30x30x10 fan in my boat. well over 1.5 years and 100 runs!! keep it cool!!- cheers, Curtis

Yes 100% water proof. Great radio batteries last a long time cool features too many for me to use.

yes the unit is waterproof. you can build anything you want beyond the panel as long as you have a voltage regulator and your electrical system and panel(s) are working on the same voltage. EX: 1 panel, 1 12V regulator for 12V system; 2 panels, 1 24V regulator for 24V system unless you charge EACH 12v battery in a series then you need 2 12V regulators.

The battery case on this item does not have a seal, so no this item is not waterproof. Thank you for shopping with us. ~Vert Delivery
