Checking the battery
The indicator has a long life lithium iron phosphate battery fitted. An application-specific charging circuit on the PCA manages
the battery. Charge indication is by a dedicated precision Coulomb counter which measures the current flow in and out of the
battery.
Caring for the indicator battery
The indicator can be charged using the supplied power adaptor or from the optional car charger (cigarette lighter adaptor - Part
827195). A computer USB port cannot deliver enough power to effectively charge the indicator battery. To prevent the battery
discharging if a computer USB port is used, a power adaptor or car charger should also be connected.
The charging time will be longer if the indicator is left turned on while charging the battery. Charging will also pause at
extreme temperature, below 0 ºC and above 45 ºC (32-113 ºF).
After storage, charge the indicator overnight (at least 10 hours) before use. The battery state of charge indication might
become inaccurate if the battery is repeatedly only partly charged, but it will correct itself as soon as the battery is fully
charged.
Always store the indicator at least half charged in a cool dry place (not in the sun).
To keep the indicator battery fresh, fully charge the indicator overnight at least once every 6 months. Even when not using the
indicator, the battery will slowly discharge by itself. Battery life is shortened if the battery remains deep discharged for long
periods.
If the battery is deep discharged, upon connecting a charger, the indicator will enter a special recovery mode to trickle charge
the battery for up to 30 minutes during which the indicator will not turn on. If after 30 minutes of charging the battery has not
recovered, then attempt one more time by disconnecting and reconnecting the external power. If the battery still does not
recover within 30 minutes, you will need to replace the battery.
Battery information
•
In normal operation, the indicator’s battery save feature will turn the indicator off when it has not been used for 15
minutes. This may give the impression that the battery has gone flat. Press to continue weighing. This feature can be
turned off through the
Auto Power Off
option on the
Settings > General
screen.
•
It is safe to leave the indicator on charge indefinitely.
•
The battery cannot be over-discharged during use.
•
The battery may not reach full charge in extreme temperatures.
•
Battery run time may be reduced at freezing temperature.
Battery problems
If there are doubts about the battery capacity or if the battery does not appear to hold its charge, follow these steps to test the
battery.
1
Charge the indicator in a cool dry place for 10 hours at 10-45 ºC (50-113 ºF). The battery will not fully charge if too hot or
cold, or as quickly if the indicator is left on while charging.
2
Check that the charging symbol on the
Home
or
Weigh
screen is displayed during charging and displays full after
charging is completed. If not charging, check the power adaptor, USB cable, power/comms connector, PCA and ensure
that the indicator has the latest version of firmware installed.
3
When fully charged, disconnect the power adaptor and check the
Settings > Service Info > Status
screen to confirm a
battery discharge current of less than 800 mA. Excessive discharge current suggests a faulty PCA.
