Battery Pack

10.4.2 Battery Information

The Thermal Imager is powered by an internal rechargeable battery pack, and has a built in 
charger that recharges the battery when connected to a power source. A fully charged battery 
pack can provide up to 4 hours of continuous operation. The battery discharge rate will vary 
depending on overall use and settings. For example, using the LED spotlight or a high level 
display brightness setting will accelerate battery discharge.

To prolong the life of your battery, turn off the Thermal Imager when not in use.

The battery pack should be used within a short period of time (about 30 days) after charging to 
prevent loss of capacity due to self-discharging.

If the battery pack no longer holds a charge, contact your sales representative to order a new one.

10.4.3 Battery Charging

There are three modes of charging:

Low Rate (approximate charge rate 100mA) 

Thermal Imager turned on

USB cable connected to a powered PC USB jack 

Medium Rate (approximate charge rate 500mA) 

Thermal Imager turned off

USB cable connected to a powered PC USB jack 

High Rate (approximate charge rate 960mA)

Thermal Imager turned off

Using supplied or compatible USB power supply adapter connected to AC power source 

A protective cover is used over the USB jack and microSD card slot, located on top of the Imager. 
Always keep the protective cover closed during operation. Only open the protective cover during 
battery charging, or when removing the microSD card. Opening the protective cover during 
operation could result in an electrostatic discharge event that may cause the Thermal Imager to 
reset. If this occurs, the Thermal Imager will reset and return to normal operation without being 
damaged.

NOTE:

NOTE:

i

When the battery reaches a low charge level (approximately one bar indication on icon), the LED 
flashlight is disabled. 

1. Turn the LED spotlight off. 
2. Open the protective cover on top of the Thermal Imager. 
3. With the battery pack installed in the Thermal Imager, connect the USB cable to the micro 

USB jack on the Thermal Imager (

Figure 10-1

).
