Replacing the Lithium Batteries

Installation and Wiring

The AXC-232++’s lithium batteries have a life of approximately 5 years to protect its memory. When DC power is on, the batteries are not used. When you install the AXC-232++, record the date the batteries should be replaced.

There is a danger of explosion if you replace the batteries incorrectly. Replace batteries with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Never recharge, disassemble, or heat batteries above 212°F (100°C). Never solder directly to the batteries or expose the contents of the batteries to water.

Before you remove the lithium batteries, contact your dealer and verify that they have a current copy of your program; this avoids any inadvertent loss of data and prevent an unnecessary service outage.
