11. PIN BRAZING BATTERIES
Figure 12
Battery packs supplied with the pin brazing unit are 3 individual 12V DC batteries wired in series
for a 36V DC supply.
These battery packs are required to be kept on constant trickle charge to maintain their
efficiency. If the batteries are left in storage, uncharged for a prolonged period of approximately
3 months or more then, it is possible that the batteries may deteriorate to an unusable condition.
We recommend that batteries for spares are purchased as a 36V Quickchange re-chargeable
battery pack” Part # 273 199 5640
(figure 12)
in order to facilitate constant trickle charging with
the pin brazing battery charger, Part # 273 199 5020.
Regularly check that the bus bars connecting the 3 batteries in series and cable connections to
the connector are tight. Loose terminals could result in defective and/or swollen batteries.
11.1 QUICKCHANGE RE-CHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is accessible by undoing the safety latch on the side of the enclosure and
opening the lid on top of the power control unit. Unplug the connector by grasping the red plugs
at either end, and pulling directly apart (do not grasp the cables to pull the connector apart). Lift
out the pack using the retaining strap, insert a fully charged pack, reconnect the red connector
fully and then re-secure the lid.
Assuming that the battery pack being inserted is fully charged, the blue LED should illuminate
on the front panel of the power control unit when the cables are properly reconnected.
Only attempt to re-charge battery packs with the recommended charging unit in
conjunction with the charge adaptor supplied with your spare pack (273 199 5620). Or
alternatively it can be re-inserted into the Easybond MkII enclosure for re-charging.
NO SPARKS, SMOKING OR NAKED FLAMES NEAR THE BATTERIES AS
EXPLOSIVE GASES MAY BE EMITTED.
