Use the rechargeable Li-ion batteries provided (X-Rite P/N SE15-40 / E-One Moli Energy Corp Model
MCR-1821J/1-H); other types may burst causing personal injury. Replacement batteries can be purchased
from your authorized X-Rite representative or E-One Moli Energy Corp.
Charging the Battery Pack
General
The battery pack for your new instrument comes in a low to medium charge state and should be charged before
use (up to 4 hours for full charge) by plugging in the AC adapter. Refer to Connecting the AC Adapter later in
this section.
A charged battery pack may eventually lose partial charge if not used for an extended amount of time. You
should charge the battery from time to time and store in a cool environment when not in use to maintain battery
performance.
Battery Charge Temperature Range
5°C to 40°C
Lifespan Expectations
Lithium-ion batteries typically decay to 80% capacity after 700 charge cycles (see chart below). A charge cycle
can be defined as several partial charges equaling 100%. Partial charge and discharge cycles will help maintain
the life of the battery. It is best to avoid full discharge and charge cycles. After roughly 700 charge cycles are
reached, the amount of measurements you can expect to achieve from one full charge is reduced. At this point,
you may wish to replace the battery pack.
Disposal
Dispose of the battery pack in a designated disposal location for recycling.
