3.8 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

Under normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 9 hours. As Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the 7530 G2 at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.

Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7530 G2 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.

To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:

•The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low as possible.

•Depending on the ambient light at your site, consider turning off the keypad backlight.
