Maintenance of the Split2 Monitor

2) Care of the Battery Pack
Battery charging

•  Charge the battery pack fully before first use to ensure optimum performance.
•  Full battery capacity will be achieved after 2 to 3 full charge / discharge cycles.
•  Use only the SKC approved charger designated for this battery pack. Use of a non-SKC 

approved charger may impair battery performance or even cause irrepairable damage, 

and will invalidate the battery pack warranty.

•  Always check the battery status before use (refer to page 16) and charge as required.

Battery performance

•  Charging temperature - For optimum performance charge NiMH batteries between 0 and 

+40°C.

•  Do not overcharge - For optimum performance disconnect battery pack from charger after 

24 hours.

•  Discharge temperature - For optimum performance discharge NiMH batteries between 

-10 and +45°C (refer also to the Split2 monitor specifications on page 2 for limitations on 

operating temperature specific to this instrument).

Battery maintenance

•  Battery cycling during regular use - To maintain optimum capacity during regular battery 

use, cycle the battery once a month. Run the Split2 monitor until low battery shutdown 

occurs, then fully charge battery.

•  Long term storage and highly infrequent use -

1.  Charge battery fully prior to long term storage.
2.  Store in a cool, dry place at temperature between 0 and 30°C. Ensure that the Split2 

monitor is switched off during storage.

3.  Recharge battery at least once a year (or more frequently if stored at temperature above 

30°C).

4.  Cycle battery 2 to 3 times after long term storage to restore optimum capacity.

Battery testing

1.  Connect an SKC approved charger to the Split2 monitor and leave to fully charge.
2.  If the Split2 monitor does not function at all after a full charge of the battery pack, the 

battery cells have failed or are at end of life - Replace the battery pack. Also check the 

output of the charger.

3.  If the Split2 monitor functions after a full charge of the battery pack but gives significantly 

reduced run times before low battery shutdown, the battery cells are failing or are at end 

of life - Replace the battery pack.
