Battery care
When the battery is enabled and the instrument is not connected to AC power,
the battery discharges at 30% of full capacity per day. When the battery is
disabled and AC power is not connected, the battery discharges at 10% of full
capacity per month.
When storing the instrument without AC power applied, do not allow the battery
to discharge below 10%. The following equation can be used to determine
instrument storage time without AC power - and still enable the instrument to be
fully recharged:
months battery disabled * 10% + days battery enabled * 30% = 90%
A fully discharged battery may need to be replaced if it has not been recharged for
six to 18 months.
