Introduction 11
1.10 Battery Replacement
Disposable Batteries
The
BT
annunciator will display when the is battery is beginning to get low. When the
BT annunciator starts to blink, the batteries are close to being completely drained. For
maximum life, use the batteries until the system shuts off.
Rechargeable Batteries
When using Nickle-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) Cells, it is recommended that the cells
are recharged immediately after the BT annunciator starts to blink. Do not allow the
batteries to discharge completely, it may compromise the recharge life of the battery.
NiMH Cells in C and D sizes have a lower capacity then the Alkaline C and D sizes.
MSI recommends having two sets of NiMH batteries, so one set can be charging
while the other is in use.
Note
NiMH ‘D’ cells are often repackaged ‘C’ cells so you don’t get an
increase in battery life for Dyna-Links large enough for ‘D’ cells.
The use of NiCad batteries is not recommended.
If the Dyna-Link 2 will not be used for an extended period, the batteries should be
removed. A small current is used when powered off which will discharge the batteries
in about six months.
