Like the Model 946 battery, the Model 948 is a gelled-electrolyte,
maintenance-free battery. This battery is particularly well-suited
to installations that have moderate-to-heavy power require-
ments. It is also suitable for installations that have fairly low
power requirements, but because of their location, must operate
unsupervised for long periods of time.
Teledyne Isco offers the battery, a convenient carrying case (rec-
ommended) and a six-foot connect cable. The cable terminates
in a two-pin M/S connector suitable for attachment to Isco sam-
plers and flow meters. The cable is protected with grease where
it connects to the battery.
Teledyne Isco also offers a special battery charger suitable for
recharging the Model 948 Battery (Figure 2-4). We recommend
the use of this charger, as it automatically senses when the
battery is charged and reduces the current to a safe level, thus
avoiding the possibility of overcharge. Most automotive-type
chargers do not have this capability.
This charger has an output of 6 amperes and is supplied with
leads terminated in alligator clips for easy connection to the
battery. To recharge the Model 948, simply remove the top of the
carrying case and connect the red (positive +) clip to the positive
(+) terminal on the battery and the black (negative –) clip to the
negative (–) terminal on the battery. Follow the instructions
printed on the charger. For safe charging refer to the comments
made for the Model 946.
If you want to charge the battery with a different charger, note
the charging conditions indicated on the battery label. The
battery manufacturer recommends that the initial charge not
exceed C/5, which in this instance would be 9 amperes.
