8.6.1 DESCRIPTION
8.6.2
8.6.3
HUNTER's rechargable battery system consists of four rechargable
cells and a HUSKY HUNTER battery charger.
The cells are 'AA' size Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) of nominally 1.2
volts, 0.50 Ah and are capable of being charged at 65mA
continually.
The special HUSKY HUNTER battery charger is the only unit which
may be used to recharge the NiCad batteries when they are
installed in HUNTER. The use of an ordinary AC adaptor/battery
eliminator may damage HUNTER or the batteries.
WARNING
When using the charger be absolutely certain that HUNTER has
four NiCad cells correctly aligned and no alternative type is
present. Do not even mix NiCads of differing age or state of
charge. A risk of chemical leakage, gassing or explosion exists
if anything other than a matched set of recommended NiCad cells
are charged. Do not attempt charging at temperatures of 5°c or
less.
The charger contains lethal voltages, under no circumstances
must it be opened, in any way tampered with, or used for any
other purpose. It must, of course, be kept dry. There are no
user serviceable items inside the case.
If the charger is suspected of being faulty, then the fuse
inside the mains plug may be changed for a similar fuse not
exceeding 2 amps rating. The charger unit is fully protected
against continuous short circuits but if unlikely fault
conditions arise which cause overheating to the charger, it will
self destruct, quietly and safely. The charger is double
insulated, making no earth connection.
OPERATION
To use the charger unit the following procedure is recomrrended:
1) Switch off HUNTER.
2) Plug the charger into HUNTER's LEMO connector.
3) Plug the charger into the mains.
4) Finally switch mains on.
