Description
The THSBAT battery pack is for use with THS3000 series
oscilloscopes. The 10.8 VDC battery pack consists
of an array of Lithium-Ion battery cells. An internal
circuit monitors the charge on the battery and reports the
condition on an LCD display at the top of the battery. The
display indicates the amount of charge in increments of
approximately 20% each.

Battery Recycling
This THSBAT Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack must
be recycled or disposed of properly.
Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to disposal and
recycling regulations that vary by country and region.
Always check and follow your applicable regulations
before disposing of any battery. Contact Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation (www.rbrc.org) for
U.S.A. and Canada, or your local battery recycling
organization.
Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste electronic
equipment in standard waste receptacles.
Place only discharged batteries in a battery collection
container. Use electrical tape or other approved
covering over the battery connection points to prevent
short circuits.
This symbol indicates that this product
complies with the applicable European Union
requirements according to Directives 2002/96/EC
and 2006/66/EC on waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries. For
information about recycling options, check the
Support/Service section of the Tektronix Web site
(www.tektronix.com).
Transporting Lithium-Ion Batteries
The capacity of the Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack
in this product is under 100 Wh. The lithium equivalent
content has been shown to meet the applicable requirements
as de
fi
ned by the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III
Subsection 38.3.
Always check all applicable local, national, and
international regulations before transporting a
Lithium-Ion battery.
Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled
battery may, in certain cases, be speci
fi
cally limited or
prohibited.
The battery pack must be adequately protected against
short-circuit or damage during transport.
Storing Battery Packs
Store battery packs in a low-humidity environment
free of corrosive gases. Storing battery packs
in high-humidity environments, or outside the
temperature range, can cause oxidation on the
metallic parts, increased leakage, signi
fi
cant aging and
premature failure.
Do not store battery packs near heat or
fi
re. Do not
store in the sunlight.
Do not keep battery packs in a place where the
terminals can be shorted by metal objects (for example,
coins, paper clips, or pens).
Do not remove a battery pack from its original
packaging until required for use.
When possible remove the battery pack from the
equipment when not in use.
Charge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity at
least once every six months.
Remove the battery and store it separately from
the oscilloscope. Refer to the
THS3000 Series
Oscilloscope User Manual
for instructions on
removing and installing the battery.
For optimal battery life, store the battery at
temperatures b5 °C and +20 °C (+41 °F
and +68 °F). Higher temperatures reduce the battery
storage life.
