Which 3D scanners have the best battery life?
Category: general
Battery life varies significantly: NavVis publishes 1.5 hours of scanning per set of two hot-swappable batteries on the VLX 3. Trimble publishes about 2.5 hours per battery on the X12, or about 5 hours with two batteries fitted. Leica publishes no battery runtime for the BLK360 G2 (it uses an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery). FARO publishes a typical battery operation time of about 4 hours for the Focus Premium. Mobile scanners like NavVis benefit from continuous operation, while tripod scanners can use external power. For all-day fieldwork, bring spare batteries or power banks.
