Overview
Battery charging is as easy as driving the Definium AMX 700 to a correctly rated wall outlet and plugging
the unit in. Ratings are as follows:

The time required to fully recharge the Definium AMX 700 batteries will vary according to battery charge
level as indicated on the battery status display.
During recharge the Definium AMX 700 capacity gauge increases as the unit is charged. To recharge
from 10% to 100% typically requires 4-5 hours.
Occasionally the Definium AMX 700 automatically performs an extended charge to make sure that all
portions of the battery's internal plates get fully charged. This extended charge occurs every tenth 10
time the battery is charged.
To recharge from 10% to 100% during an extended charge typically requires 10 hours. The Definium AMX
700 will continue to attempt extended charges until at least half of the extended charge time is
complete.
NOTE: The extended charge will be transparent to the operator. The only indication that it is in progress
is the longer charge time.
Although portable application will vary site to site, under most operating conditions, a fully charged
Definium AMX 700 is designed to supply enough charge for 2 hours of use.
The Definium AMX 700 capacity gauge visually displays the remaining capacity using a 48 segment bar
graph display.
At or near full charge, all segments are illuminated (Figure 6-1).
