11 Batteries and Power supply
__________________________________________________
Note!
Before use, open the battery pack and connect the battery to the
outside connectors. See figure below.
The Li-Ion battery pack is the standard power supply for the CX main unit.
The capacity of the battery is 12V/13.2 Ah. This gives an operation time of
approx. 6 hours depending on the settings and configuration of the system.
The battery should always be stored fully charged to maximize the lifetime
of the battery.

Quit the system and disconnect the battery before charging.
The battery charger is an automatic quick charger designed for Li-Ion
batteries. The recharge up to about 80% of the full capacity goes very
quickly. However, it is recommended to keep the battery charging until it is
fully charged. The battery charger can be left on after the battery has been
fully charged. It then automatically turns into maintenance charging.
The indicator lamp on the charger gives you the following information: Red
= Charged < 80%, Yellow = Charged 80-100% and Green = Maintenance
charging
Note!
Before charging it is important to reset the internal memory of the
charger by reconnecting it to the mains supply and wait until the indicator
lamp turns off
.
The CX can also be supplied by
any other external 12V DC power
source. The one MALÅ Geoscience
provides is seen at right.
