Battery Packs
Two Battery Packs are available for the TIGER, a rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack and a non-
rechargeable AA Alkaline Battery Pack for 3 AA Alkaline batteries.
• The rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack is recommended for normal operation. The TIGER
is supplied with it as standard.
• The non-rechargeable AA Alkaline Battery Pack should only be used when no power is
available to recharge the rechargeable pack.
The Rechargeable Battery Pack is normally fitted as standard to the instrument when shipped.
Recharging Batteries
BATTERY CHARGING: CHARGE THE TIGER AND ITS LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACKS
IN A NON HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT ONLY.
Battery Connection: Ensure all electrical connections are clean and undamaged
before connection. The TIGER instrument’s ingress protection rating is reduced
to IP20 when its Battery Pack is removed so avoid changing batteries in dusty or
wet environments.
Lithium Ion Batteries can be damaged if left in a discharged state. Please
recharge if battery indicator is showing empty. Please note also that if the
instrument is left for one year unused, it needs to be charged fully before it can
continue to be kept in storage. Please repeat annually.
Ensure the TIGER is charged for at least 7 hours before using it for the first time. To ensure optimum
charging, the TIGER should be switched off. If left on, the TIGER will take longer to charge, but will
not suffer any damage. The TIGER should only be charged in non-hazardous environments.
To charge your TIGER, connect the Charge Cradle to the mains. A red light on the charger indicates
that it is ready. Place the TIGER in the Charge Cradle so that the contacts on the TIGER are aligned
with those in the cradle. There is no need to remove the Instrument Boot from the TIGER.
