The equipment usage time of the balancer with new alkaline
batteries is approximately 40 hr. (Vibrex 2000 Plus to 55
hrs).
Rechargeable alkaline batteries - Be aware that
rechargeable alkaline batteries require a very specific
recharge regimen. Consult the subject battery manufacturer’s
specifications for recharging instructions.
Nickel-cadmium batteries - This type contains about half the
power density of alkaline batteries. The battery life on new
fully charged nickel-cadmium (NiCad) batteries is
approximately 20 hr. The shelf life of NiCad batteries is far
inferior to alkaline batteries, and NiCads deteriorate if not
used regularly. On the good side, NiCads are less expensive
over the life of their use than alkaline batteries. The rule for
NiCad batteries is to use them often and hard.
NOTE: The Vibrex unit comes shipped with alkaline
batteries.
6.3.1.2
Battery Usage
Keep the following important cautions in mind when using
batteries with the Vibrex unit:
Do not take refrigerated batteries, then put them in a unit
then set it in sunlight at 90° or higher. This action may cause
severe battery leakage and severe internal damage to the
unit’s circuit board.
CAUTION: Do not put a battery in backwards. If you do,
there is enough voltage to operate the unit for
approximately 30 min. However, this action shorts out the
battery and heats it up enough to rupture, causing severe
internal damage to the Vibrex unit.
CAUTION: This backward-battery problem is much easier
