6.3. MAINTENANCE OF BATTERIES AND RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
If you follow the detailed instructions described below for handling batteries and rechargeable batteries,
you’ll achieve savings both for conventional batteries and for rechargeable batteries. Working with your
dynamometer will also be more convenient.
The power supply for the dynamometer is provided by encapsulated alkaline R6-type batteries (size,
Mignon AA); 1.5 V.
Rechargeable batteries are nickel-cadmium R6-type batteries (size: Mignon AA), 1.2 V and a capacity of
700 mAh each battery.
The alkaline encapsulated batteries are the only ones which allow optimum results to be achieved. The
encapsulation serves as a rust inhibitor for the device. This rust can be produced by possible battery acid
leaking from the battery.
Dry-cell batteries have a predetermined expiry date. If this date is exceeded, the battery gradually looses
its charging density. For that reason we recommend that you buy batteries only from specialized
businesses which offer only accredited battery trademarks and guarantee that they are “new”. Batteries
with exceeded expiry date dramatically reduce the number of operating hours available for use.
Used-up alkaline batteries cannot be recharged. Moreover, they pose an explosion risk when connecting
them to a battery charging unit. Batteries must not be destroyed, cut down or laid over an open fire or
flame.
If the dynamometer will not be used for a long time, we strongly recommended that you remove the
batteries from the battery holder. This will prevent the electrolyte from leaking from inside the device,
which would cause serious damages to the dynamometer.
