15.1 Rechargeable Battery Pack
NivuFlow Mobile is equipped with a rechargeable lead gel battery pack by default. This ready-
to-use battery pack allows for long measuring periods.
The battery pack is in the according battery compartment. An additional battery pack can be
plugged right next to it. Since both sockets are almost equivalent the battery socket can be
selected freely if only one battery pack is used.
• While
Charging
only the battery plugged into the right socket is charged however.
• When
Discharging
the battery with the higher capacity (independent of the socket)
is used until the capacity of both batteries has reached the same level. After that both
batteries are discharged equally.
Moreover, the battery type used or the number of inserted batteries should be specified in
the >Battery (12V)< menu to correctly indicate the remaining battery power in the >System< /
>Information< menu.
The battery compartment is locked with a cover and six non-detachable hexagon socket
screws.
