Important Notes On Charging The Battery
$
The battery Fast-charge is initiated each time the power
adapter is connected to the printer.
$
The fast-charge controller checks the battery’s voltage and
temperature, before the start of the fast recharge process. If
the battery voltage or the temperature is outside of the fast-
charge limits, the charger defaults to trickle charge at C/10
or 70mA rate.
$
Optional
external
battery chargers are available for Mt3
Series printers; a single bay fast rate charger and
conditioner; a four bay trickle charger (12 hour cycle); and
an in-vehicle 12v or 24v adaptor.
Verifying Battery Charge State
Follow these steps to identify and correct any battery power problem
encountered. It is strongly recommended testing all printers before returning to
Printek. These will help to identify that the fault is with the printer and not
some other part of your system.
