12.3
Regular Use of the Battery Pack
Below are instructions for maintaining a healthy battery:
1.
Always fully charge new batteries before first use.
2.
When the battery capacity is lower than the Windows low level (Default: 10%),
Windows will display a low-battery notification. At this point, either replace the
battery with a fully charged battery or plug in the power adapter to recharge the
battery.
3.
Prevent over-discharging the battery. Over discharging will significantly reduce
the battery's shelf life.
4.
If the POC system is not in use, turn off the system to save battery power.
5.
If one battery is installed, the POC system can still operate.
12.4
Battery Pack Storage
If the POC system or battery pack is stored in a warehouse for a long duration, the
following tasks must be performed:
1.
Always fully charge new batteries before moving them to a warehouse.
2.
Before storing the battery and leaving it idle, recharge the battery to full capacity.
3.
If the battery is left unused or idle for a long duration, perform a full recharge
every 3 months.
4.
Ensure that the POC system is switched off and double-check that the "power
on" green LED indicator is off before storing the unit.
12.5
Battery Operation Sequence
When two batteries are installed, you should follow the below sequence to charge/
discharge batteries.
1.
Balanced mode (two batteries are of the same voltage):
Charge or Discharge the two batteries together.
2.
Un-balanced mode (two batteries are of different voltages):
Charge: Charge the low-voltage battery first. When these two batteries reach
the same voltage, charge the two batteries together.
Discharge: Charge high-voltage battery first. When these two batteries reach
the same voltage, discharge the two batteries together.
