The battery is shipped with a partial charge only, and should be fully charged before use.

The battery can be completely charged in about two hours with the power meter in standby mode by selecting CHARGE from the System menu (page 4-30). This selection is available only when the instrument is being powered by AC line power or external DC power greater than 21 volts. Note that the instrument will shut down during the charging cycle, and re- start automatically when the charging is completed. A series of 10 beeps signals completion of the charge cycle.

The external battery charger (option ML2400A-13) can completely charge the battery in 2.5 hours.
