Chapter 4: Test and Calibration Procedures
Battery Pack
Introduction
This procedure is performed when a battery pack is installed or replaced. It can
also be used to verify the operation of the analyzer charging system.
NOTE:
•
When the battery pack and battery charger are both disconnected then
reconnected, the battery counter is reset to zero and the analyzer will begin a
charge cycle. This 6 hour cycle will provide a maximum charge to the battery
pack.
•
Over time, the capacity of battery cells diminishes. Cycling the battery pack
occasionally during normal use will ensure optimal battery performance. The
useful lifetime of the pack is dependent on the frequency of cycling the pack and
the efficiency of recharging.
Battery pack

A fully charged battery will read 25 on the battery indicator on the bottom right
corner of the
Main Menu

NOTE:
In the
Hardware
screen, the
Bat
reading should be approximately 175
when the battery pack is fully charged (see Figure 4-21).
