LabQuest uses a high-quality lithium-ion battery. This is the same chemistry used in premium
laptop and cell phone batteries, and you can expect similar performance. There is never a need to
condition the battery by regular full discharge/charge cycles.
laptop and cell phone batteries, and you can expect similar performance. There is never a need to
condition the battery by regular full discharge/charge cycles.
It is safe to leave the battery charging indefinitely, and there is no need to fully discharge the
battery before charging. Battery life will depend on the sensors used, but in most cases you can
obtain six or more hours of use before recharging. We recommend charging LabQuest overnight
to start the next day with a full charge. For more details about the battery, see

Quick Start to Data Collection
Follow these steps to get up and running quickly with basic data collection. For more details, see
1. Turn on LabQuest by pressing and releasing the
power button located on the top edge of LabQuest.
The LabQuest App will launch automatically.
The LabQuest App will launch automatically.
2. Connect an analog sensor to the CH 1 port on
LabQuest (or connect a digital sensor to the DIG 1
port). LabQuest App will auto-ID the connected
sensor and automatically set up the default
collection rate for the sensor.
port). LabQuest App will auto-ID the connected
sensor and automatically set up the default
collection rate for the sensor.
Note: If your sensor is an older-style (DIN) sensor
requiring an adapter, the sensor will not auto-ID.
Instead, you will need to set up the sensor manually.
To do this, tap the Sensors menu and choose Sensor
Setup. Next, tap the field labeled “No Sensor” adjacent to the appropriate port to view a list
of sensors. Tap to select the sensor.
