6.7 Battery Maintenance and Replacement
6.7.1 Battery Maintenance
1. The AS3000 uses a sealed lead-acid battery. Due to the self-discharge characteristics
of this type of battery, it is imperative that it is charged after 3 months of storage (or after
extended periods of non-use). If not charged, a permanent loss of capacity may occur as
a result of sulfation.
2. Check the battery run time every 12 months.
3. Replace batteries when operating time is less than 30 minutes or when the battery is 3
years old.
NOTE: The sealed lead-acid batteries used in the system are
maintenance free. They will perform reliably provided that
they are kept in the charged state.
4. Disposal of batteries should be conducted in accordance with local recycling statues
and labeling shown on the battery pack.
6.7.2 Battery Replacement
1. Open the access door located at the rear of the AS3000.
2. Disconnect the battery connections.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Ensure the new battery is electrically connected and secured in the same manner as the
original one.
5. Close the access door.
6. Use only Approved Batteries (P/N 0997-00-0619).
