Charging the Battery 

 
A  sealed  lead  acid  gel-cell  battery  furnishes  power  for              
the JR-2.  

The  front  panel  indicator,  displaying  state-of-charge,  will  be 
RED  during  the  charging  stage.  When  the  battery  is  fully-
charged, the charging indicator will turn GREEN and remain 
GREEN  through  the  float  stage.  Charging  may  take  place 
during operation or storage, periodically, or on a continuous 
basis.  If  continuous  charging  during  storage  is  performed, 
the  circuit  will  automatically  maintain  a  full  charge, 
regardless of the temperature.  

The  battery  charging  time  will  depend  on  the  status  of  the 
battery  prior  to  beginning  the  charging  process.  Typical 
charging times (for GREEN light observation) are as follows: 

Fully-discharged battery:  approx. 11 hours 

40% discharged battery:  approx. 5 hours 

As an example, the battery in a unit that has been run for a 
total of 16 hours in a 0.7sec ON/0.3sec OFF switching mode 
will be approximately 40%  depleted and will require approx. 
5 hours to re-charge to full capacity.  

Replacement Parts
