Replacing the Battery
(Ultralight and ML-2)
1. Remove the battery cover.
a. Remove the cover from your
existing Caplamp battery using
a 5/64” Allen wrench, and
keep the cover clamps and
socket dcrews for later use.
b. Lift the battery cover off the
battery.
c. Disconnect the red and black
wires from the battery termi-
nals by loosening the screws
holding the pole clamps to the
posts. Carefully remove the
clamps from the posts.
Dispose of the old battery
properly.
2. Install new battery.
a. Connect red conductor to pos-
sitive battery pole and black
conductor to negative battery
pole to insure correct polarity.
b. Tighten cable clamps with a
flat blade screwdriver.
3. Re-install the battery cover.
a. Check both ends of the battery
for the adapter clips.
Replace the battery cover. It
must fit squarely on top of the
battery. Slide a cover clamp on
each end of the battery and
cover.
Note
The mounting hole in each clamp is
slightly off-center. Install the clamp so
that the hole is below center.
b. Install the two screws and
tighten, using the 5/64” allen
wrench.
The electrolyte level of all batteries
should be checked once each week,
and after battery is charged.
Water only when battery is fully
charged. If the battery is over-
topped, there is a possibility that
electrolyte may leak out under cer-
tain conditions.
a. Fill the plastic bottle of the
MSA Filling Device (P/N 69422,
469773, or 454052) with dis-
tilled water only, and place it at
a convenient location close to
the batteries to be watered.
b. Insert the nozzle or needle of the
Filling Tube into the small hole
provided in the battery window.
Depending on the style of filling
device, squeeze the bottle or
push the needle forward.
c. Fill until the electrolyte level is
centered between the two
scribed lines below the cell
window. The battery may have
to be tilted back slightly to
allow the water to flow.
d. Repeat this procedure in adja-
cent battery cell.
Using the Remote Power
Connection
Note
If using the Remote Power Connec-
tions with the Ultralight or ML-2 Cap
Lamps, the Luminator Power Cell Plus
16 AH battery is recommended, due
to higher battery demands. However,
the Luminator Power Cell 13 AH has
been approved for use with the
Remote Power Connection with the
Ultralight cap lamp.
1. To access the battery power for an
external remote device, remove
the connector cover located on
the top of the battery. Keep the
cover for later use.
