HIGH RATE DISCHARGE
For a given size and battery type, higher discharge currents will reduce overall life expectancy while lower discharge currents will enhance overall battery life. The DIGITAL battery incorporates a unique feature that will flash the “LCD” display when a high rate discharge current (equipment load) is applied to the battery.
The LCD indicator will resume normal operation when the high rate discharge current is either reduced below the rating or completely removed.
Particular caution should be used if the battery is powering a portable light. At the very first signs of the light dimming or turning orange, the power must first be turned off and the battery replaced. Never continue to use a DIGITAL battery after the “Flashing 15 minute segment” flag has appeared.
DIGITAL PROPAC
All lit segments of the Digital ProPac will flash when a discharge current (load) greater than 8 amps/115 watts is applied.
DIGITAL TRIMPAC
All lit segments of the Digital Trimpac will flash when a discharge current (load) greater than 5 amps/80 watts is applied.
