BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
BATTERY STATUS & CHARGING
9
Battery Storage:
When storing the battery, it should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%. We
recommend that during long periods of storage that the battery be charged every 6 months. Doing this
will prolong the life of the battery and will also make sure that the battery charge does not fall below
the 30% mark.
Other Chemical Reaction:
Because batteries utilize a chemical reaction, battery performance will deteriorate over time even if
stored for a long period of time without being used. In addition, if the various usage conditions such
as charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc. are not maintained within the specied ranges, the
life expectancy of the battery maybe shortened or the device in which the battery is used may be
damaged by electrolyte gel leakage. If the batteries cannot maintain a charge for long periods of time,
even when they are charged correctly, this may indicate it is time to change the battery.
Battery Disposal:
Please dispose of battery according to local regulations.
Battery Status:
This function is used to check the life status of the battery.
Plug the xture in and press the MODE button until “bXXX” is displayed. “XXX” represents the current
battery life. The number that is displayed is the remaining battery life. If “b---” is displayed, it means
that you are running the unit on AC power. Do not allow the battery to fully die as this severely
shortens battery life.
NOTE: When the battery life is below 30% the battery percentage will ash. At 15% power the
xture will shut o.
NOTE: When using battery power, after 20 seconds of inactivity, the display will revert back to
the battery life display.
Battery Recharge: To recharge the battery, plug the supplied I.E.C. cord into the I.E.C. input on the
side of the unit and plug the other end into a matching power supply. It takes about 4 hours to reach
full charge (with the power o). The display will STOP ashing when the unit reaches 100% charge.
Note: When unplugging the unit from charging and then applying power via battery, there will
be a minimal charge drop.
For a faster recharge, turn the Load Setting to “O” and turn the battery “On”. See the Operating
Instructions section of this manual for detailed information.
