  • Page 6: Battery Guide

    The Valley Panther ZD-X Battery Guide Valley-Dynamo has upgraded the rechargeable battery system on the Panther ZD-X. The battery is now 12 volts, 18 amps, and a new 3amp charger is added to allow for faster charges. The battery and charging point are relocated to the end of the table, away from the secure area of the cash boxes, and accessed by an enlarged Clean Out Door.
  • Page 7  If the table is in play mode, we recommend a 7-hour initial charge. (figures based on use of the Panther ZD-X 3-amp charger) You cannot ―top off‖ your battery if it is a volt or two low. Plugging it in for a quick one-hour charge will not do the job.
  • Page 8 Part# 850200130 will not function at this point and games can be vended only by using coins. At 11.8 volts, the display shuts off completely and will not return until the battery is charged, or replaced with a charged battery. Games can only be vended using the manual push chute.
