Batteries
The power supply of the C22 has two Li-Ion batteries and uses the battery
with the highest voltage. The switch-over between the batteries is
automatic.
If the unit is firmly mounted, the batteries can be replaced one at the time
during normal operation without interrupting the measurement. A lock
lever holds both batteries in place when the battery lid is removed. See
the safety section at the beginning of this manual on how to replace the
batteries. Voltage, current, temperature and a digital identity of both
batteries are monitored to ensure safe use and charging.
Note! Make sure that both batteries are inserted.

External Power Connector
The external power connector is located at the left-hand side of the
instrument. Input for a 12V power supply is supported. When the battery
level is low, the external power will charge the batteries
