6.2 Battery Maintenance
• The batteries require no maintenance during their life.
• The life cycle of the batteries is approximately 500 charge / dis-
charge cycles.
• To prevent the possibility of battery leakage, always remove the
batteries from the device when not used for prolonged periods.
6.2.1 Charging the Batteries
Remove the batteries from the BR-102 plus / BR-102 plus PWA ( see
Inserting/Changing the Batteries, page 15 ), and place in the battery
charger unit. Leave the batteries in the charger unit until fully charged
(see battery charger operating instructions).
6.2.2 Battery Disposal
• Full capacity of new NIMH batteries are only reached after three
charge/discharge cycles.
• Totally discharged batteries require approximately three hours to be
fully charged (with two batteries in charger), or six hours (with four
batteries in charger).
• Charged batteries lose their charge when removed from the charg-
er unit. Therefore to ensure full capacity only remove the batteries
from the charger immediately before taking a recording.
• No harm will be done to the batteries by leaving them in the charger
unit.
