9. BATTERY LIFE
10. POWER AND BATTERY CHARGE
To maintain the economical life of this product it is required that the battery be discharged and recharged
at least once every 6 months. The battery life can be reduced if the battery is not discharged as per the
requirements of AS/NZS 2293 or an equivalent standard. Increasing the number of duration tests above that
as defined in AS/NZS 2293 or an equivalent standard can have a positive effect on the battery performance as
long as exceed 12 discharge cycles per year is not exceeded
The Ektor Generation III platform uses smart battery charging technology which reduces power consumption
and increases battery life.
