  • Page 124: Notes On Accumulators

    21.9 Notes on accumulators The enclosed accumulators should never be opened. Opening the accumulators will cause irrepara- ble damage to these components, possibly resulting in a complete loss of energy supply. See Section "22.1 Dealing with closed accumulators" The accumulators should always be recharged using the supplied recharging device after every spell of use (even if use of charge was minimal during the spell).
