Description
The THSCHG is a battery charging base for use with the
THSBAT Li-ion battery packs. When used with the external
power supply for THS3000 series oscilloscopes, it will typically
charge the battery pack in approximately 5.5 hours.
CAUTION.
To avoid damage to the battery pack, use only
the oscilloscope or the THSCHG battery charger to charge
the battery pack. Do not connect any other voltage source
to the battery pack.
You do not need to continuously charge (trickle charge) Li-Ion
battery packs to maintain full operating capacity between jobs.
However, a Lithium-Ion battery pack will self-discharge while
not in use. To achieve the longest operating time, charge your
battery pack before use. If you plan to store battery packs, read
the specific instructions to do this. (See note below.)
NOTE.
Refer to the THSBAT Rechargeable Battery Pack
Instructions (Tektronix part number 071-2960-xx) for
information on storage, transportation, and end-of-life
recycling or disposal of the THSBAT Lithium-Ion battery pack.
Charging the Battery Pack
NOTE. For optimum performance, charge the battery pack
completely before using it for the first time or after prolonged
storage.
CAUTION. To avoid overheating of the batteries during
charging, do not exceed the allowable ambient temperature
given in the specifications.
1. Connect the oscilloscope AC adapter/power supply to a
mains outlet and insert the DC plug of the power supply
into the THSCHG External Battery Charger.
