About the Battery
The EC-BOS-6
AX
is provided with a custom 10-cell NiMH battery pack mounted to the unit (under the cover).
This battery allows the EC-BOS
AX
to continue operation through very short power bumps (a few seconds in
duration). If a longer power outage occurs, the battery provides enough run time for the EC-BOS-6
AX
to backup
data and then shutdown. Typically, this is one minute. Shutdown occurs automatically, after data is backed up
to on-board flash memory.
The EC-BOS-6
AX
charges the battery during normal operation, until fully charged. Typically, the charge
operation completes within 18 hours. Following a power outage, the battery is charged again, as necessary. The
power and battery circuitry is monitored by a station running on the EC-BOS
AX
(via the PowerMonitorService).
Station alarms are generated whenever primary power is lost, or if the battery is uncharged or unable to hold a
sufficient charge.
The battery should be replaced approximately every three years, or more often if the unit is in a high temperature
environment.
Note
A NiMH battery characteristic is to lose charge if not left in charge mode (trickle charge). Leaving the
battery unconnected, or in the unit powered off will cause the battery to fully discharge in a matter of
weeks. Note that in the case of a new EC-BOS-6
AX
, it ships from the factory with a completely
discharged battery. Therefore, allow at least 18 hours for the battery to charge if it has not been in a
powered unit.
For more information on the use and replacement of the battery, refer to the “Required Battery Maintenance”
section on page 20.
