2. USE OF BATTERY CHARGER AND CARE OF BATTERY

AutoStop Maxi is fitted internally with a long-life 12volt, fully sealed, rechargeable
lead acid battery, which must be charged for up to 10 hours before initial use. The
battery charger input is located to the right of the printer. With proper care and use,
the battery should last between two and five years.
It is recommended to recharge the battery nightly if the Brake Meter is used
regularly. Only an approved battery charger with the correct voltage, waveform and
terminal polarity should be used. The battery must never be allowed to fully
discharge as it will void the warranty.
The battery should always be recharged if the battery voltage falls below 12 volts
(for more information see Section 6 "Checking Calibration"). As a guide, if the Brake
Meter is used for one to two tests per day, the battery should be recharged weekly.
If the Brake Meter is used more frequently, the battery should be recharged daily.
The AutoStop Maxi is fitted with a low voltage cut-out switch in the circuitry to
protect the battery from excessive discharge. If the battery is allowed to discharge to
zero (0) volts, and left standing for a long period of time, severe sulfation would
occur, raising the internal resistance of the battery to abnormally high levels. In such
extreme cases, the battery may not accept a charge. It is vital that the battery of the
AutoStop Brake Meter is regularly charged to prevent accidental battery damage.
