Battery performance
About the battery
The device uses a rechargeable lithium ion smart battery. Internal circuitry enables the
battery to report its condition to the device. The device displays the battery status via the
LED power indicator, icons on the screen, and status messages appearing in the Device
Status area of the display. Battery information may be collected using the service tool.
New batteries are shipped from the manufacturer with a 30 percent charge to extend
shelf life. When installing a new battery in the device, you must plug the device into AC
power to wake up the battery. If the AC power is not applied to the device, the new
battery will appear discharged.
The Device Status area displays a low-battery status message when 30 minutes of
power remain and again when 5 minutes remain.
Battery charging is provided by the device’s internal power supply.
For a complete list of battery specifications, see the device’s directions for use.
