13. Battery. Battery charging
Standard, BLISSTOOL LTC64X is equipped with a LiPo battery 11.1V, 2200mAh, which is
characterized by high quality, low weight and long life. To recharge it, in the standard package of the
metal detector is included automatic LiPo battery charger.
The LiPo battery is located in the electronic block located under the armrest.
With a single charge of the LiPo battery, BLISSTOOL LTC64X can work up to about 30 working hours.
Then, the battery needs to be recharged.
The LiPo battery of BLISSTOOL LTC64X, has about 500 - 800 cycles of charge - discharge (battery
life), after which its capacitance drops sharply and it must be replaced with a new.
Calculations:
- 800 cycles charge - discharge x 30 hours each = 24 000 hours total.
- 24 000 hours : 8 working hours per day = 3000 days = 8 years.
Therefore, the built-in LiPo battery of BLISSTOOL LTC64X is sufficient for at least 5-8 years working
with the metal detector.
The built-in rechargeable LiPo battery, does not need any further maintenance besides being
charged.
CAUTION: The charge of the LiPo battery should only through the automatic LiPo battery charger
available in the standard package. It is optimized for quality and safe charging of the LiPo battery.
The use of other chargers may cause rupture or ignition of the LiPo battery and the metal detectors,
and/or fire in the room in which they are!
During charging, the metal detector should be switched off. Its switching on while being charged
could cause serious damage to the electronic block or to decrease its quality.
CAUTION: The inclusion of the LiPo battery for charge, should always be carried out in the following
sequence (in order to avoid damage of the metal detector):
1/ Make sure that the metal detector is turned off (potentiometer VOLUME is at level "OFF");
2/ Remove the protective cap of connector CHARGE;
The CHARGE connector is available on the back panel of the electronic block of BLISSTOOL
LTC64X).
3/ Turn the connector of the automatic LiPo battery charger, available in standard package of
BLISSTOOL LTC64X, into the connector CHARGE;
4/ Turn the power plug of the automatic LiPo battery charger into the ~100-240V supply network.
After the process of charging, the exclusion takes place in reverse sequence, i.e. from point 4/ to
point 1/.
The connector of the automatic LiPo battery charger, has a single correct position for insertion into
the connector CHARGE. In this position, the hollow cursor of the charger connector falls in with
flange cursor of the connector CHARGE, and when inserted, the charger connector enters into the
connector CHARGE at a depth of around 10 mm. After the charger connector is plugged in, it is
screwed to the connector CHARGE by the means of the available metal stopping nut, used as a
shield.
The incorrect insertion and/or the application of a brute force for incorrectly inserting of the charger
connector, leading to failure of the metal detector.
CAUTION: The plugging in and out of the charger connector is done while the metal detector is
switched off (VOLUME potentiometer is turned in level "OFF" (Fig.4)) and disconnected from the
supply network power plug of the automatic LiPo battery charger.
Usually, the charging continues from several minutes to about 2-4 hours
, depending
on the level of discharge of the LiPo battery. It is not necessary to follow the process of charge,
as the charger is automatic and then charge of the battery it goes into trickle charge mode,
which protects the battery from over-charging.
