The following information is approximate and should be used for reference. Many factors effect an individual battery’s performance:

uthe presence of auxiliary devices

uthe printing rate (including printhead contrast and number of labels per day)

uthe complexity of your printed formats

uthe environment (temperature and humidity in your facility or DC).

In the information below, “typical conditions” are as follows:

one Monarch printer printing standard compliance 4x6 labels (5-10 minutes of actual printing per hour), no auxiliary devices attached to the MWS, and standard environmental conditions (no excessive heat or humidity).

uWhen using the 24VDC or Symbol 24VDC MWS under typical conditions, the batteries may last up to 50 to 100 hours before recharging.

uWhen using the AC Power Inverter or 24VDC/115VAC MWS under typical conditions, the batteries may last up to 24 hours before recharging.

uWhen you notice the batteries need to be charged more frequently, order replacement batteries. BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the same time to maintain capacity match. For example, if you had 60 hours of use between charges and now have 30 hours of use between charges, replace the batteries.

The performance of your batteries varies depending on the number of printers and/or auxiliary devices, such as a scanner or terminal, attached to the MWS. Frequent charging of the batteries is recommended.
