discharged. It will normally be recharged to 90% of capacity within 2 ½ hours.
Full charge may take up to 4 hours before indicating that the battery is full
depending on the initial state of the battery. When charging is complete the
battery management circuitry will switch off so that over-charging is prevented.
Your battery module can be safely used in a partially charged state and will not
suffer if stored in a discharged state. However, you may wish to have a spare
battery that can be interchanged with the one in use to provide continuous use of
your BITE 3.
As the battery ages, it may start to loose its capacity. In this case the battery
module has a slow charge facility which is activated by pressing the
Slow Charge
(  ) button (J6) while switching on the charger supply until the indicator bars
start to move. This method of charging can take up to 48 hours and so is best
reserved for a weekend or a period when the instrument is not required to be
used. A fully charged battery, even if not used, will self discharge over a period of
several weeks (faster at higher temperatures). Always check the "Battery State"
indicator before starting work. A fully charged battery will light all segments. A
fully discharged battery will light no segments.
NOTE: All batteries suffer a reduced life if exposed to constant high
temperatures. A constant temperature of 30°C will probably cause the
battery to fail in less than 5 years. 40°C will shorten its life to 2 years.
THE BATTERY STATE INDICATOR
The Battery State Indicator provides information on the amount of charge in the
battery, but is also used to signal other conditions as follows:
Standard Charging (Fast):
The battery module is charging at its standard rate. The LED is progressing
across at a fast pace
Slow Charging (Slow):
The battery module is charging at its slow rate. The LED is progressing at a slow
pace
Standard charging but at a slow rate (Flashing and Slow):
The battery has been set to charge at its standard rate but, because the battery
has become hot, it has switched charge rates to a lower rate while the battery
cools down. Wait for the temperature to drop and/or move to a cooler location.
The stationary LEDs are flashing while one LED progresses at a slow pace.
Not charging. There is a temperature problem.
