The following information is approximate and should be used for
reference. Many factors effect an individual battery's performance:
the presence of auxiliary devices.
the printing rate (including printhead contrast and number of labels per
day).
the complexity of your printed formats.
the environment (temperature and humidity in your facility).
the type of power supply a printer has.
In the information below, "typical conditions" are defined as follows:
one Monarch® printer printing standard compliance 4x6 labels (5-10
minutes of actual printing per hour), no auxiliary devices attached to the
MWS, and standard environmental conditions
(no excessive heat or humidity).
When using the 12VDC/115VAC MWS with an AC Power Inverter under
typical conditions, the batteries may last up to 24 hours before
recharging is necessary.
When using the 24VDC/115VAC MWS with an AC Power Inverter under
typical conditions, the batteries may last up to 100 hours before
recharging is necessary.
When you notice the batteries need to be charged more frequently, order
replacement batteries. On 24VDC models, BOTH batteries MUST be
replaced at the same time to maintain capacity match.
For example, if you had 60 hours of use between charges and now have 30
hours of use between charges, this is an indication that the batteries
need replacing.
The performance of your batteries varies depending on the
number of printers and/or auxiliary devices, such as a scanner or
terminal, attached to the MWS unit. Frequent charging of the
batteries is recommended.
