2.3 Charging The Battery
Important- Before using the unit for the first time the internal battery must be
fully charged. Follow the unpacking and setup instructions below.
The third generation PQI unit is powered by nickel metal hydride batteries
which weigh less and are smaller than equivalent lead-acid cells. The new
microprocessor controlled battery charger will usually charge the PQI unit
in a couple of hours. For first use and after a fully discharged battery pack a
minimum of 5 hours should be allowed
for charging.
Under normal operation, the PQI unit can operate in excess of 13 hours at full
charge. The internal 12 volt battery is designed to be recharged in approximately
2-4 hours, using the 120/220 V AC battery charger
Warning- Attempting to recharge the unit in any other way than with the
recharger supplied with the unit can result in damage to the unit and can present
a safety hazard. Use of any charging means other than the recharger supplied
with the unit will void the unit’s warranty.
The figure below shows the battery charger supplied with the PQI.
