2. Rechargeable battery

 

Lead-acid accumulator (6 V/4.5 Ah)
with integrated fuse, connecting cable and two-prong safety plug

Lead-acid accumulators must never be discharged completely.
ISOTEST

®

 test equipment provides visual ("Battery empty") and acoustic

alarm whenever there is a risk of complete discharge of the rechargeable
battery. If this alarm is generated, the rechargeable battery should be
replaced with a charged battery and recharged as soon as possible.
 To protect the lead-acid accumulator from short circuit, a fuse holder with
suitable fuse is mounted on the rechargeable battery, adjacent to the
terminal block. Shorting of the plug results causes the fuse to blow.

 Blown fuses must not be shunted by wires, nails or similar as
this may irreversibly damage the rechargeable battery, should
a short circuit occur again. 

Fire hazard!

 Damaged rechargeable batteries can only be repaired by the
manufacturer.
