You should charge the battery from time to time and store in a cool environment when not in use to maintain battery performance. • The battery pack can be charged in the instrument (Refer to Section 6 Connecting the Power Adapter) or by use of the optional charging station. The charging station is useful for charging up to two battery packs. • Battery Charge Temperature Range 5°C to 40°C. (1) (2) (3) Power on/off measure button
RapidMatch™ XI Spectrophotometer 6 Battery Lifespan Expectations • Lithium-ion batteries typically decay to 80% capacity after 700 charge cycles. A charge cycle can be defined as several partial charges equaling 100%. Partial charge and discharge cycles will help maintain the life of the battery. It is best to avoid full discharge and charge cycles. After roughly 700 charge cycles are reached, the amount of measurements you can expect to achieve from one full charge is reduced. At this point, you may wish to replace the battery pack. Disposal • Dispose of the battery pack in a designated disposal location for recycling. 6. Connecting the Power Adapter NOTE: The instrument can operate from the power adapter only. The battery pack does not need to be installed. The power adapter overrides any charge condition of the battery pack in the instrument. Measurements can be taken even with a very low battery condition when using the power adapter and the battery pack is charging. 1. Verify the voltage indicated on the power adapter complies with the AC line voltage in your area. 2. Open the access cover (1) at the back of the instrument. 3.
