Battery selection
As a guide, the recommended battery size in amp hour (Ah) required for each energiser
model is shown below. This table is based on a 8 day operating period between battery
charging. Although operating time can exceed 8 days, this is likely to cause battery damage
and will necessitate frequent replacement of the battery.
For best system reliability and long term battery life, the preferred battery and charging
regime is to use a deep­cycle, lead­acid battery and to recharge it when it has discharged to
about halfway. For more information on testing battery charge level, see "Battery test setting"
on page 35.

Warning! A rechargeable 12 V lead­acid battery must be used.
Battery management
Warning! Batteries contain harmful chemicals and when used incorrectly, may cause injury.
Observe the guidelines for battery care, maintenance and safety in this manual and in the
documentation supplied with your battery.
Battery preservation
In order to extend the operating period between battery charges, the energizer will begin to operate
at a slow speed and half output energy when the battery capacity drops below approximately 40%.
In order to prevent deep discharge and thus irreversible damage to the battery, the energizer will
stop producing output pulses when the battery capacity drops below approximately 20%.
Battery charging
Warning!
• Do not attempt to recharge a non­rechargeable battery.
• When recharging a battery, ensure that there is adequate ventilation to allow gases
to disperse.
Regular recharging of the battery is essential. Use a suitably rated battery charger and
refer to the battery manufacturer's recommendations.
