1. The batteries in this system should last approximately 12 hours when fully
charged. The Low-Battery indicator on the display will illuminate when the
battery voltage is low. Typically, the user will have between 15-30
minutes before the batteries become too weak to power the unit.
2.
The batteries are charged any time the system is plugged-in. In Fast
Charge mode, i.e. the unit is plugged in and the power is OFF, charge time
is between 2 and 4 hours depending on battery charge level. The green
LED on the front panel will flash when the battery is charging and turned
off. It is recommended the tester be plugged in when not in use. This will
not harm the unit and will increase battery life.
Note: If the tester is to be stored for several months, always ensure the
battery is completely charged prior to storage.
