The charging time of an empty battery is about 11 hours. The battery pack discharges
even while not in use for a longer period of time if the scale is not connected to the power
supply. Therefore, connect the scale to the power supply whenever possible. An over-
charging of the battery pack is automatically prevented due to an integrated charging con-
nection. The charging connection prevents harmful deep discharge.
The accumulator's life span decreases if the accumulator is constantly
operated in run down condition. Recharge battery pack after each use.

eral parameters) step 04.
