ATTERIES
The KA018 uses two sealed 12V, 17 Ampere Hour, rechargeable lead acid
batteries. Only use the batteries supplied by Castle and always ensure if
replaced that they are inserted with the terminals to the top. For safety
precautions never operate the KA018 kit upside down.
For safe charging of the batteries the following points must be adhered to:
•
Only charge indoors
•
Never close the KA018 case lid whilst charging
•
Use only the supplied charging unit
To charge the case batteries, firstly ensure the above criteria are met. Ensure
the Battery Disconnect Switch is ON (indicating Blue) and insert the charging
plug into the control box socket labelled "Charge". Charging both batteries
completely, if depleted may take approximately 14 Hours. When your charger
unit illuminates Green then charging is complete. (Refer to the charger manual
for more detail if required).
The KA018 kit can only be powered from the external battery pack or external
power supply connector whilst the batteries are being charged.
To reduce the weight of the KA018 the kit may be powered using one battery
only, however this may cause an unbalance when carrying the case.
operational time will also reduce by approximately one half.
Operational life of the batteries, on continuous use, will be approximately 6 days.
