Repeater battery life
We have a project coming up where we will need a repeater for our base radio. We are using Trimble 450 radios and CMRX corrections, and 25 watts. I have an almost new 100 amp hour battery.
We are in very mountainous and rough terrain and covering an area that is about 15 square miles. Anyway the big hill where we want to put the repeater takes about an hour to get to from where our base and staging area is at.
Will this repeater battery need to be retrieved and charged every night or will it last up there longer than that? The base will be running about 9 hours a day. Not sure if the repeater uses considerably less juice when isn??t repeating or not.
