  • Page 74: Battery Life

    Battery Life The NiMH batteries powering the battery-operated probe have high energy density for maximum operating time between charges, but also have a significant self-discharge characteristic. When the probe is stored for longer than a week or two, the batteries will discharge even though not in use. Leaving the batteries in a discharged condition for long periods of time may result in reduced battery life.

  • Page 75: Charging The Batteries

    Fully charged batteries (nominal output voltage of 4.8 VDC) provide up to 30 hours of operation. When the batteries have discharged to 4.4 VDC, the probe will operate, but the batteries need to be charged. When the voltage drops below 4.0 VDC, measurement accuracy may be compromised by continued operation.
