METRAX GmbH
Note
A completely discharged PRIMEDIC™ AkuPak battery must be charged for at least
2.5 hours. Too short a charge duration can lead to misinterpretation of charge by
the equipment. Trouble-free functioning of the equipment cannot be assured.
Ensure that the ambient temperature is between 0 -
45°C during charging.
Note
Charging PRIMEDIC™ AkuPak battery pack at operating temperatures outside the
prescribed range can damage the battery. Allow the battery to reach the ambient
temperature before charging it, or charging may be interrupted prematurely.
Charging of PRIMEDIC™ AkuPaks is
interrupted in case the equipment senses a higher
temperature. It resumes once the temperature is within the valid range. This prevents harmful
overcharging of the PRIMEDIC™ AkuPaks battery. If the PRIMEDIC™ AkuPak battery is not
charged, the PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor XD can be operated using the integrated mains power
pack. The PRIMEDIC™ AkuPaks are char
ged automatically during operation of the
PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor XD.
For further information on NiCd batteries and how to charge them, see chapter 22.
