  Ronald SanchezAug 9, 2025
  If the batteries aren't charging when placed in the OmniScan MX2, consider these points: 1. Confirm that the battery model is compatible with the model suggested by Olympus. An incompatible battery might power the instrument, but the recharge protocol might not recognize it. 2. Ensure the DC power adapter is properly connected. 3. Try charging the batteries using an external charger, as they charge much faster when the OmniScan MX2 is not in use. Note that batteries will charge very slowly or not at all if power consumption is too high. 4. Shut down the OmniScan MX2 and allow it to cool down, as battery charging is disabled when the battery or the system's internal temperature is too high.
