9 Batteries
The Zone80 DG can be purchased with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack.
The following information is appropriate only to the model you have purchased.
9.1 Operating Principles
•
The battery must be charged before using it for the first time because it is delivered with an
energy content as low as possible.
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/+32 °F to +104 °F.
For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature
of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F if possible.
•
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recom-
mended by GeoMax, it is not possible to charge the battery once the temperature is too
high.
•
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is
effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
•
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend
carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a Geo-
Max product deviates significantly from the actual battery capacity available.
•
The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F.
•
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating temper-
atures reduce the service life of the battery.
9.2 Battery for Zone80 DG
The rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack on the Zone80 DG can be charged without removing the
battery pack from the laser.
1. Slide the locking mechanism on the battery compartment to the centre position to

2. Plug the AC connector into the appropriate AC power source.
3. Connect the charger plug into the charge jack on the Zone80 DG battery pack.
4. The small LED next to the charge jack flashes indicating that the Zone80 DG is
charging. The LED is on solid when the battery pack is fully charged.
5. When the battery pack is fully charged, disconnect the charger plug from the charge
jack.
6. Slide the locking mechanism to the left position to prevent dirt from getting into the
charging jack.
☞
The battery pack reaches a full charge in approximately 5 hours if completely empty.
A one-hour charge should allow the Zone80 DG to run for a full 8 hours.
With the rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack the battery indicator on the Zone80 DG LCD display
shows when the battery pack is low and needs to be charged.The charge indicator LED on the Li-
