(I) Restore Factory Settings: 

 

This  procedure  restores  all  of  the  programmable  functions  to  their  factory  defaults.  
It is useful to set the searchlight back to a known state for troubleshooting purposes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Rechargeable Battery Systems

 

 
Handheld  Maxa  Beam  Searchlights  are  powered  by  rechargeable  battery  packs  that 
attach to the bottom of the searchlight. Maxa Beam Batteries are for use with Maxa 
Beam Searchlights only and should never be used with any other device. 
 
This  Operation  Manual  covers  the  use  of  Peak  Beam’s  current  Lithium  Iron 
Phosphate  (LiFePO

4

)  batteries.    To  view  information  regarding  operation  of  older 

battery  chemistries  including  MBP-1207  NiCad  and  MBP-1307  Li-Ion  Batteries,

MBP-1308 Series Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO

4

) Batteries 

 
The  MBP-1308  7.5Ah  Lithium  Iron  Phosphate  (LiFePO

4

)  Battery  is  the  most 

powerful battery  option  for the Maxa Beam Searchlight,  offering a longer run time, 
faster charge time, and more life cycles than any previous Maxa Beam battery. 
 
MBP-1308 Series Batteries are available with an optional fuel gauge. For details on 
using the battery fuel gauge, see page 9.

The LiFePO

4

 is compatible with all Maxa Beam Searchlights, however, the LiFePO

4

 

battery’s  connector  differs  from  the  connectors  on  older  Maxa  Beam  batteries.  
Therefore, a LiFePO

4

-specific power  cord (signified with “-L” suffix) must be used 

to connect this battery to a searchlight.
