Optimal battery
pack life
The lifetime of a battery pack is affected by various conditions. Elevated
temperatures, long periods of inactivity and incomplete charging will diminish the
expected lifetime and operation of the battery pack.
NiMH batteries operate at their optimal capacity when regularly exercised and
allowed to discharge to a level other than full capacity. It is recommended that the
analyzer be operated on battery power routinely or at regular intervals to maintain
optimal performance of the battery pack
