6.3 Charging rechargeable battery
Charging commences as soon as the power supply is connected to the meter. The meter can be
on or off. Charging is indicated by the battery symbol filling and a flashing green LED. The rechargeable
battery quick-charges to full charge in about 7 hours. The completion of the charging cycle is indicated
by a full battery symbol and a steady green LED. To stop charging unplug the power charger.
Note:
- Due to interferences in the mains, the process of battery charging may finish prematurely. When charg-
ing time is too short, turn off the meter and start charging again.

6.5 General principles for using Li-Ion rechargeable batteries
- If you do not use the device for a prolonged period of time, then it is recommended to remove the
rechargeable batteries and store them separately.
- Store the half-charged battery pack in a plastic container placed in a dry, cool and well ventilated place
and protect them from direct sunlight. The battery pack may be damaged if stored when fully discharged.
The ambient temperature for prolonged storage should be maintained within the range of 5°C…25°C.
- Charge the batteries in a cool, well-
ventilated place at a temperature of 10°C ... 28°C. Modern fast
chargers detect both too low and too high temperature of rechargeable batteries and react to the situa-
tion adequately. Too low temperature should prevent starting the process of charging, which might ir-
reparably damage rechargeable batteries. The increase in temperature of the battery pack may cause
electrolyte leakage and even its ignition or explosion.
