BATTERY PACK CHARGING & INSTALLATION
Battery Pack Charge Status
Battery pack charge status is indicated by pressing the indicator button on the top of the battery (Fig. 7). Number of bars
illuminated indicates approximate battery pack charge capacity (5 bars: 80-100%; 1 bar: less than 20%) based on original
battery capacity.
NOTE:
As the battery pack ages, it will normally lose capacity. An older battery pack, or one that has been exposed to
temperature extremes, may show less than 5 bars after completing a charge cycle (i.e. after a full charge as indicated by the
battery charger, only 4 bars light indicating 60-80% of original capacity is available).

Battery Packs
NOTE:
Only 3M™ Battery Pack TR-830 can be used with the 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800

respiratory protection, and may damage the PAPR. 3M™ Versaflo™ Battery Pack TR-830 will not function on other
PAPR systems.
To install a charged battery pack, hold the unit so the filter cover faces you.
1. Inspect the hinge and fastener on the battery pack and ensure it is clean and undamaged.
2. Inspect the molding surrounding the electrical connection pins. It must be in place and intact.
3. Ensure the gold electrical contacts on the battery and pin area of the motor/blower are clean and free of debris.
4. Hook the hinge end of the battery pack into its holder on the bottom of the unit.
5. Push the fastener side of the battery pack into the motor/blower and fasten with a 3/32 inch hex head tool. Do not
overtighten.
6. Grasp the battery pack and gently pull to confirm pack is locked into place.
To remove the battery pack, turn the unit upside down so the battery bottom faces you.
1. Insert a 3/32 inch hex head tool into the fastener side and unscrew until it releases.
2. Lift the battery out.
NOTE:
The fastener can be removed for deep cleaning by pressing up on the thread side of the fastener.
