3.1 The power supply

Your Covermeter is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack which
can be charged inside or outside the Covermeter.
One battery pack is supplied with the Covermeter. To increase productivity on
site, Elcometer recommends that you purchase a spare battery pack which can
be charged while you are using your Covermeter. To order an additional battery
pack (see "Accessories" on page 36), contact Elcometer or your local
Elcometer supplier.
Charging the batteries
The rechargeable battery must be fully charged before using the Covermeter for
the first time. Use the charger supplied with your Covermeter to charge the

Covermeter and will invalidate the warranty. Do not attempt to charge any other
batteries with the supplied charger.
Always charge the battery indoors. To prevent overheating, ensure that the
charger is not covered.
