Traffic Engineering II Radar User’s Manual
5-2
The following information regarding battery care is furnished to assist you
in the use and maintenance of rechargeable batteries. Battery life is depen-
dent on the user’s preventative maintenance procedures. Establish regular
routines for all of your batteries regardless of their usage.
Charging a battery is very important for obvious reasons. Your Traffic En-
gineering II Radar depends on a fully charged battery to operate efficiently
and to produce reliable and correct data. Batteries should not be allowed to
sit in a discharged state for any length of time. Once the battery discharges
below 11.0 volts, damage to the cells has already begun. Symptoms of a
damaged battery are:
1. The battery will not charge to its full capacity of 13.4 volts or
higher.
2. The battery will only hold a charge for a short time under load
conditions.
3. The battery will discharge faster than normal during storage under
no load.
With this in mind, recharge the battery to its highest potential (normally
from 13.4 volts and up) once it has fallen between 11.2 and 11.5 volts. The
battery can be charged using the NOCO Genius 2 Battery Charger that
came with the unit.
Battery Charging
Monitor your battery voltage by checking the
Traffic Engineering II
Radar Setup screen of the STARnext software. We recommend that the
battery be recharged
to its highest charge
level (usually 13.2
volts and above) once
it discharges to be-
tween 11.2 & 11.5
volts. A good battery
may charge as high as
13.6 volts or better. A
defective battery may
not charge any higher
