Alkaline Batteries
NiMH Rechargeable NM-TIMY2
This measurement took place without the TIMY2 supplying external devices (e. g. no supply of
photocells) and for the PXE with 3 printed lines per minute.
Battery types:
Alkaline batteries: These batteries must never be used in a TIMY2 with integrated printer.
Alkaline batteries can only supply about 10 % of their original capacity at temperatures of -
20°C. Thus they are only recommendable for warm weather. On environmental reasons it is
also recommendable that rechargeable batteries are used.
NiMH battery pack NM-TIMY2: The NiMH rechargeable battery pack is recommended for
every TIMY2. These newly developed batteries dispose of an enormous persistance even at
very low temperatures and can supply a high current for the printer.
Charging:
The rechargeable batteries are charged inside the TIMY2 with charger PS12 or PS12A, no
matter if the TIMY2 is switched on or off. The charging period with NiMH batteries (NM-TIMY2)
takes with 1.5 Ah approx. 14 hours.
Charging Switch:
The TIMY2 has got a switch (hidden behind the
battery label) for switching on or off the rechargea-
ble battery charging.
Using alkaline batteries, the charging must be
switched off -position ALKALI-, as otherwise the
batteries may leak.
During the operation with rechargeable batteries,
the switch should be on position NiCd/NiMH so that
the rechargeable batteries are charged.
Attention: Never use alkaline batteries in a
TIMY2 when the charging switch is set
on NiCd/NiMH and a charger is connected.
Operating period:
The operating period depends on the TIMY2 model, the batteries utilized and the ambient
temperature.
