Smart Battery Management System™ Technology
The rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack is designed with Smart
Battery Management System™ (SBMS) technology. It contains a gas
gauge/supervisor chip to monitor pack capacity and control
charging/discharging.
The SBMS supervisor prevents the battery from overcharging when
the AC adapter has been left plugged into the battery. At end of the
charge cycle the SBMS supervisor disconnects (stops charging) the
cells while continuing to pass power on to the instrument. The
SBMS supervisor also prevents excessive discharge when the
battery is depleted.
