Working with Battery

Before Using Battery
Charging Battery
Safety Considerations
This chapter is applied to Keysight B2983B/B2987B which has the built-in
Lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
Battery supported by the B2983B/B2987B
Use a Lithium-ion battery (Keysight N1418A).
Never use other batteries.
Never use a modified or damaged battery.
Earthing the B2983B/B2987B
If the power cord is removed from the instrument and the battery is used for
operation, connect the instrument chassis to an electrical ground through the
earth (ground) terminal on the rear panel, for safety.
Use the earthing wire furnished with the B2983B/B2987B.
When you receive the instrument
When the instrument is shipped from the factory, the battery is not installed, and it
is not charged enough. So you need to charge the battery before working with the
battery.
A fully charged battery will power the instrument for about 7 hours (B2983B) or 5
hours (B2987B), so if you plan to use it for this long, you should fully charge the
battery.
