Charging the battery:
Make sure your battery has a full charge prior to placing it into service. Even
though your battery is fully charged when it leaves our facility, just sitting in the
table on the way to you will allow some discharge from the battery.
Please be sure to FULLY charge a new battery prior to installing it in the table.
This process takes at least 6 hours (in conjunction with the Panther 3amp charger)
if the battery is not hooked up to the table,
 WE RECOMMEND A 6 HOUR INITIAL CHARGE.
 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. Your battery performs best with a full charge.
Not charging your battery completely will eventually damage the battery. Maybe
not today, maybe not next week, but a lot sooner than you'd like.
By not charging the battery completely, eventually you will never be able to
charge it completely no matter how long you leave it plugged in.
Your battery will be damaged if significantly discharged—imagine if running your
car down to ¼ tank caused permanent damage to your engine.
A lead-acid battery cannot be overcharged. Don't worry that you have left it
plugged in for too long. It doesn't care.
RECHARGE THE TABLE'S BATTERY REGULARLY EVERY TWO WEEKS
Low Battery Warning and Battery Protect mode:
When the voltage on your battery drops to 12.3 volts or lower, you will see a ―Low
Battery – Please Charge‖ warning on the table's LCD Display. Have your locations
notify you immediately if this warning appears so that you may take action to
prevent permanent damage.
At 12 volts, the message changes to ―Low Battery – DBA Off.‖ Your Bill Acceptor
Make the time!!
