5. USING THE BATTERY

27

• Charging while operating from DC12V external battery

This function is useful when operating from the BT-53Q rechargeable battery that is low and 
needs charging.

 

Using the instrument with 12vDC external battery in ambient temperature 

[10 to 35°C (50 to 95°F)], the rechargeable battery can be recharged while the instrument is 
in use.
Optional accessory power cable (PC-17) is necessary to use the instrument with 12vDC 
external battery. 

“5.3 PC-17 (Power cable for 12vDC) *Optional accessory” (p.30)

Connect 12vDC external battery and turn the instrument ON, the BT-53Q will charge 
automatically. The charging indicator LED on top of the BT-53Q will indicate charging status.

• The LED on the battery indicates charging status as follows:

Red ON

: Charging

Green ON

: Charging completed.

Green flashing : Internal error of BT-53Q rechargeable battery
Red flashing

: BT-53Q rechargeable battery protection feature* is working automatically. 

The instrument can be used in this case.

*Automatic protection feature:

In case of overcharge or high or low ambient temperatures that exceeds charging 
temperature range, charging will be stopped or changed to protect battery.
