2.4.1 The Internal Batteries
The Detective X uses two high-capacity lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which charge whenever the unit is
connected to external mains or 12-V power. The Detective X can operate for up to 8 hours on a fully charged
pair at room temperature. At extremely low temperatures (−20°C), the batteries can operate for up to
5 hours.
A 5-bar LCD display on the end of the battery opposite the charging blades (Figure 22) shows its state of
charge and can be used to distinguish spent batteries from charged ones. The instrument provides audible
and visual alerts when the batteries are roughly 90% depleted (approximately 45 minutes remaining). The
internal circuitry will not overcharge the batteries, so the Detective X may be left on external power
indefinitely.

he transport case has cutouts for a spare

.

NOTE The Detective X may also be operated on one battery at a time, using either battery bay. This
is encouraged because it makes the unit almost 1 lb. lighter. This will of course cut the run
time in half . However, it’s fast and easy to hot-swap the batteries one-at-a-time without
interrupting data collection. 1
