Power and batteries
During a weighing session, the Scale can be powered by its internal
battery alone or by its internal battery and either the battery charger or
an external 12 volt battery.
The battery charger connects between an AC outlet and the Scale.
If either the battery charger or an external 12 volt battery is connected
to the Scale, the Scale's internal battery will be charged while the
Scale is in use.
For optimum performance, switch off the Scale and charge its internal
battery for at least five hours. When fully charged, the internal battery
on its own will power the Scale continuously for a minimum of eight
hours. Battery life may be reduced if the Scale is being used to power
an Electronic ID reader.
Charging the battery
The battery in the Scale can be recharged using either a battery
charger or an external 12 volt battery.
Recharging the battery will take up to five hours depending on the
level of charge already in the battery. The Scale can be in use or can
be switched off while the battery is being charged.
