Battery description
The AutoPulse NXT battery (battery) is a proprietary, rechargeable, removable lithium-ion battery that is the
power source for the platform.
WARNING. Always charge a stored battery before placing the battery in active operation. Check the
"Battery status indicators" (page 2 4 ). Do not use batteries that have not been charged for longer than a
month without charging them first. See “Battery charger measurement cycle” on page 3 2 .
Caution. The battery is mechanically keyed to the platform and battery charger to facilitate correct installation.
Do not force a connection if you cannot easily connect the battery to either the platform or battery charger.
Doing so may result in damage to the battery, platform, or battery charger. If resistance is met, check for the
appropriate orientation and for any obstructions.
Caution. Always inspect the battery for damage prior to insertion into either the platform or battery charger.
Never place a damaged battery into the platform or battery charger. If damage to a battery is found, contact
"Technical Support" (page
60 ).
Caution. Do not short the battery leads. Electrical connection (short) between the battery power leads on the
connector can damage the battery and render it inoperable.
Caution. Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight for an extended time.
