Page 12: Charging The Display Box
CHARGING THE DISPLAY BOX Display Box power socket The Display Box uses a rechargeable lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO ) battery. It has a typical battery life of 60 hours of continuous fencing at the default brightness setting, or two months of club use. Lower brightness settings will result in longer battery life, while higher settings will decrease the battery life (down to a typical 15 hours at maximum brightness). - Page 13 The Display Box can still be used for fencing while power is connected and the device is charging. When the Display Box is fully charged, it will automatically disable the charger even if it is plugged in. There is no way to overcharge the battery and it is safe to leave the Display Box plugged in indefinitely.
