batteries, the user does not need to set the battery warning level.
Four different adapters are available:
BAB-G: Battery Adapter Back for Gold Mount batteries
BAB-V: Battery Adapter Back for V-Lock batteries
BAT-G: Battery Adapter Top for Gold Mount batteries
BAT-V: Battery Adapter Top for V-Lock batteries
Note: Adapters must be installed by a trained technician!
