BATTERY DURATION INFORMATION
Battery life is dependent on the type of filter and headtop that you select. Use the
following two tables to determine the battery operating times that you can expect.
The following operating times are based on a fresh battery that is fully charged, and
is used in combination with new filters.
The following circumstances may negatively impact the operating times:
• Extremes of age and battery cycle
• The charge status
• Clogged filters
• High workrates
The following table outlines the different battery times for standard and extended
batteries when combined with different headtops and filters.
