Battery Lifetime Terminology
When describing the Capsule Neuron, the following terms are used:
• Battery autonomy refers to the amount of time that the Capsule Neuron can remain fully
functional in case of a disconnect from the electrical mains.
• Battery life span refers to the total time that the battery lasts before you must replace it.
Battery Summary
Characteristic Main Battery Extended Battery
Autonomy 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes) of
functional operation when unplugged

charged battery
240 minutes (4 hours) of functional
operation when unplugged from AC

battery alone
360 minutes (6 hours) to charge both
batteries
