Chapter 3. Charging the Battery

Battery Life ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you leave the battery charger plugged in and constantly charging when the Station is not in use, the battery life is maximized for the application. The charger will not overcharge the battery. The printer indicates the battery condition with the LED as follows:

Fslowly flashing green: low battery (battery is down to 11.5V). The printers still operate until the battery is drained to 10.5V or lower.

Ffast-alternating green and amber: battery is lower than 5V. Printers do not operate.

Fno LED: dead battery

nThe length of the battery’s life is directly effected by the number of discharge cycles, depth of discharge, charging voltage, and the surrounding temperature. A cycle is the time from which a battery is fully charged until it is fully discharged.
