When the lithium-ion battery drops beneath 12.5 V dc, the Quarryman Pro will carry out a controlled shut-down due 
to low power. 
 

All batteries contain highly reactive, poisonous and corrosive chemicals, which are hazardous if 
released due to physical damage. Should the battery or battery charger approach end-of-life, become 
non-functional or damaged, stop using it and source  a replacement unit from a Carlson-approved 
source. 
 

4.9  Alternative power connections 

In addition to the lithium-ion battery pack, the Quarryman Pro may also be powered from a 12 V dc battery using 
the blue cable supplied. This cable incorporates two crocodile clips which connect to the positive (red) and negative 
(black) terminals of the battery. The minimum requirement for a lead acid battery is 12 V, 7 Ah, 84 Wh. Larger 
batteries can also be used. 
 

 
The Quarryman Pro will also run with an old-style lead acid battery (part number A-5914-0222). However, in this 
case, the old power cable (part number A-5915-0200) and the old battery charger (part number A-5914-0223) must 
be used in conjunction with the old battery, as the connectors on the new equipment are slightly different. The lemo 
power connector on the Quarryman Pro itself has not changed.
