The batteries recharge whenever DIADOS E is
connected to the power line. The batteries take
about 23 hours to recharge. Overcharging is impos-
sible.
The batteries have a service life of approx. 1 year. If
a set of recharged batteries does not provide power
for the full operating time of approx. 30 hours, the
batteries must be replaced.
NOTE
For the rechargeable batteries to keep their full
capacity, they should be fully discharged and
then recharged again approximately every
3 months.
