7.0 BATTERY POWERED MODELS ONLY
The Nova-Strobe dbx is fitted with rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal
Hydride) batteries. These batteries contain fewer toxic metals than NiCd
(Nickel Cadmium) and are currently classified “environmentally friendly”.
They also have 30% more capacity than NiCd batteries of the same size.
Like NiCds, NiMH
batteries are prone to self-discharge
- 10 to 15% of
charge is lost in the first 24 hours then continues at a rate of 0.5 to 1% per
day. For maximum performance, charge the batteries just prior to use.
When not in use, the batteries should be charged at least every three months,
otherwise the battery capacity will be reduced or the batteries may become
unusable.
Charge the batteries before use and allow 3-5 cycles of charging and
discharging for batteries to reach full capacity.
The enclosure contains control electronics to properly and safely charge the
batteries. Never remove the batteries from the enclosure and attempt to
charge externally.
Always use the charger supplied (PSC-2 or PSC-2U)
.
