Do not leave a battery unused for an extended period of time, either in the product
or in st
orage. When a battery has been unused for six m onths, check the charge
status and c harge or dispose of the battery as appropriate.
The ty
pical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years,
or 300 charge cycles, whichever oc curs first.Onechargecycleisaperiodofuse
from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged again. You should use
a two to three year life expectancy for batteries that do not run through complete
charge cycles.
A rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery has a limited life and will gradually lose its
capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity (aging) is irreversible. As the
battery loses capacity, the length of time it will power the product (run time)
de
creases.
A Lithium-Ion battery continues to slowly discharge (self-discharge) when not
i
n use or while in storage. You need to routinely check the charge status of the
battery.
When you troubleshoot battery issues for dual-battery configurations, only one
battery pack should be installed. You need to test one battery pack and one
battery slot at a time.
Use only TPSBAT battery packs in your TPS2000B series oscilloscope.
