The printer is powered by a 7.4V Lithium Ion (LiIon)
battery. There are no memory effects with LiIon batteries
and reconditioning is not required. Lithium ion batteries
do not have to be completely drained before charging.
♦
Do not let the battery get wet or come into contact
with metal objects.
♦
You must charge a battery before using it. For
optimal battery life, fully charge the battery
within
three months of receipt
. Charging time is
approximately 1.5 to 3 hours.
♦
The battery should be charged immediately for
either long term storage or after the battery has
been exhausted from a printing session. Frequent
charging will actually prolong battery life and has
no negative effects such as memory issues.
♦
It is normal for battery capacity to decrease up to
20% over the first 300 cycles.
WARNING
Use only Monarch chargers (Monarch
9462
Single
Station Charger or the Monarch
9464
Four Station
Charger) designed for lithium-ion batteries when
charging. The battery might explode if placed on a
different charger. To order a replacement battery, use
part number 12009502.
♦
Take the battery out of the printer when storing it
for a month or longer.
♦
Do not use a battery with a cracked case.
♦
The optimal battery storage temperature is 50
°
F to
73
°
F (10
°
C to 23
°
C) with a maximum temperature
of 104
°
F (40
°
C). The battery may permanently
lose charging capacity at temperatures less than
32
°
F (0
°
C) or greater than 104
°
F (40
°
C). For
longest life, the battery should be stored in a cool,
dry place.
