How long does the Raft battery last, and how do I charge it?
The Rescue Raft provides approximately 2 days of battery life per full charge. At the end of each shift, Rafts should be placed in the 4-slot USB-C charging station. The top LED blinks while charging and stops when the device is full. Make docking Rafts a required part of the end-of-shift routine. Check battery levels on the Devices page before each shift — any Raft below 20% should be charged before going into the field.
