MAINTENANCE
A fully charged battery should power the R1L-D1 for
approximately 140 hours continuously, without connection
to an external resistor and without the backlight on.
Operation on any of the three lowest resistor ranges will
reduce this to approximately 24 hours, and operation with
the backlight on will reduce this to approximately 20 hours.
The battery may be discharged and recharged at least 100
completed cycles before requiring replacement. Note that, it
is recommended that NiCad batteries be completely
discharged before recharging or their effective capacity is
reduced.
