Battery and Charger Safety

Use the batteries, chargers and accessories recommended by Leica Geosys-
tems to ensure the correct functionality of the instrument.
The battery must be charged before using it for the first time because it is
•
delivered with an energy content as low as possible
The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/
•
+32 °F to +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the
batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to
+68 °F if possible
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the
•
chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge
the battery once the temperature is too high
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
•
(> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient.
•
We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indic-
ated on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates signific-
antly from the actual battery capacity available.
The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F.
•
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high
•
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

Charging Station

The Charger GKL825 is a multi-charger for indoor-use with four battery bays.
The charger is used for battery packs which are used in reality capturing
equipment. In these applications, and thus for the charger, high reliability and
safe operation over the expected product lifetime are of highest importance.
The GKL825 offers the following functions:
Power supply through dedicated AC/DC power adapter
•
LED to indicate the status
•
Four battery positions
•
Charging of one to four battery packs at the same time
•
The GKL825 can charge one to four batteries at a time depending on
☞
requested battery charging current.
