9.0 Battery Pack and Charger
The Curlin AIR is powered by 5 replaceable ‘D’ style batteries inserted into the rear panel via the
rear panel access door. The Curlin AIR is shipped with 5 Hi Capacity rechargeable NiCad batteries
installed along with an external battery charger. Once fully charged the Curlin AIR will run for up to 6+
hours before requiring another charge. Charge time is 14 - 16 hours for a full charge from empty.
The Curlin AIR is also capable of running from Alkaline batteries, available from many outlets,
should you need to use the unit where remote power for charging is not available. Please note that
there is a small slide switch located on the rear panel for NiCad / Alkaline battery selection. It is
incumbent on the user to assure the switch is in the correct position for the type of batteries being
used. Should the battery selection be incorrect (IE alkaline batteries with the switch in the NiCad
position) severe damage to the Curlin AIR will most likely result if the charger/eliminator is plugged in,
as the alkaline batteries will most likely rupture.
Please read and observe the warning on the back of the unit!
