Testing & Maintaining
the Agilent V24/V26
Series
Never short the contacts of the battery together, as it can burn out the connections and could
damage the monitor. To this end, never remove the display assembly with the batteries
installed.
Keep the batteries clean. Wipe the batteries with a dry cloth, or if necessary, use a water
dampened cloth. Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean the battery.
Dispose of batteries in approved containers. Do not incinerate the batteries. Batteries can
explode if put into fire.
It is very important to never overdischarge a battery. The batteries used with the Model
V24CT/V26CT are considered overdischarged if their voltage level is less than 9Vdc. This
can occur due to storage at high temperatures, long storage times without recharge, or
sustained connection to a load. A quick way to tell if a battery is overdischarged is if the
Charging LED on the front panel does not flash during an attempted charge. This indicates
that the batteries cannot be recharged in the monitor. However, they can be recharged with
the M1278A External Battery Charger. If you do not have an M1278A then you must replace
the batteries.
Charge stored batteries at least once every six months.

The residual capacity of the batteries can be estimated by measuring the open circuit voltage
of the batteries and comparing it to the following figure.

Use a voltmeter and measure each battery. For battery 1, the battery voltage can be sensed
between pin 8 and ground. For battery 2, the voltage can be sensed between pin 6 and ground.
