4.2 Operating and Storing
The supplied battery is a maintenance-free 12V lead-gel accumulator which is
calibrated in the best possible way with the connected loads of the TINY-FOGGER.
It can be used in every position.
The connection to the TINY-FOGGER or the charger is established by means of
a battery clip which also serves as protection against incorrect polarity.
The battery has a capacity of 2 Ah and is supplied in a charged status. A fully-
charged battery can generate more than 100 fog emissions of 4-5 seconds. The
permanent fogging time amounts to 10 minutes.
When used correctly, the battery holds its capacity for several years and/or some
hundred charge/discharge cycles.
Lead-gel batteries are a very robust bank of capacitors which need little care
and maintenance. However, their working life can be shortened rapidly by storing
them when discharged.
Caution: Do not store a discharged battery! As a result, it can lose a large part
of its capacity after two weeks!
For charging the battery please use the supplied automatic charger. A discharged
battery can be charged within 6-8 hours.
If the battery is discharged, the red LED on the charger will be alight.
If the battery is fully charged, the red LED on the charger will not be alight.
