Charging and Maintaining Batteries
Batteries
If you purchased an Edge Powerhouse with your
Edge Thermal Imager, see the enclosed Powerhouse
manual for charging instructions. If you purchased
an Edge Thermal Imager only, you received a
charging base.
To charge a battery in the charger included with your
Edge, place it in the charging base (Figure 5). a steady
red light will indicate that the battery is charging,
while a steady green light will indicate a full charge. The system will detect the full
charge and will not overcharge the battery. a completely drained battery takes up
to three hours to fully recharge.
as with all batteries, your Bullard rechargeable battery will experience a slow
drain of its charge during storage. The amount of drain varies widely based on
storage conditions. To ensure adequate battery life, charge each of your batteries
every two weeks or, for best performance, keep your Edge and spare battery
charged in your vehicle in the Powerhouse vehicle mount charger accessory (part
number: ECLPOwERHOuSE). If you are using a Powerhouse charger, follow the
instructions contained in the accompanying manual.

hard coating to minimize marring. However, if
heavy scratching or gouging does occur, the
cover window can be replaced. To do this, remove
the four Phillips head screws along the sides of
the window. Remove the plastic display cover
