Batteries
The specifications of the battery are as follows:
To run the instrument with battery power, plug the battery cable from the
battery to the instrument power connector (back of instrument)
Note:
How long the spectrometer will run with a fully charged battery depends on
many variables including battery age, instrument configuration, environment,
and accessories powered by the accessory power port.

Battery Care
Proper care of the Gel Cell Electrolyte rechargeable batteries ensures a long
life.
The batteries are rated to give 200 to 300 uses when they are fully drained
(discharged to 9 Volts) each use. Letting the battery discharge under 9 Volts
will shorten the battery's life. If the battery is only used for 50% rated capacity
up to 500 uses are possible. In the same way using only 30% capacity can
result in up to 1,000 uses.
Note:
There is no such thing as memory effect on these cells. Only use them for the
time needed. After you're finished recharge them fully and then store away till
next use.
Type:
Gel Cell Electrolyte
Rating:
12 V 9 amp hour
Life:
Over four (4) hours using a full-range TerraSpec

environment.
Nine (9) hours using a VNIR-only TerraSpec

Recycle batteries and do not dispose of as general waste.
