Battery Recharging
You can use the AC adapter to recharge the battery
module. The battery module recharges automatically
when the battery module is installed and the
workstation is connected to its AC adapter. It takes
approximately 3 hours to recharge the battery module
with the workstation powered off. When powered up,
the workstation dynamically calculates the difference
between the AC adapter capacity and the power
required to operate the workstation. Any remaining
capacity is automatically applied to background
charging.
Background charging requires 6 – 7 hours to
fully recharge the battery module, depending
on battery condition and workstation power
requirements.
The battery module can be discharged and recharged
from 500 to 1,000 times before it needs replacing. When
you need to replace the battery module, obtain a
replacement battery module from your authorized
Tadpole-RDI representative.
The battery charger circuit has two modes of operation,
fast and background charge. Fast charge is enabled
when the external AC power adapter/charger is
connected and the system is powered off. Fast charge
provides a full recharge of the batteries within three
hours.
For information on installing the battery module, refer
to Chapter 3.
