What do I need to know about the MiniMerc battery?
MiniMerc runs on a Lithium Ion battery with a charge that lasts approximately seven hours with average
use. It recharges when plugged into its AC Power Adapter. The battery fully recharges in approximately
four hours while plugged into the AC Power Adapter. Additional MiniMerc batteries as well as an optional
external battery charger are sold separately by Assistive Technology, Inc.
To preserve the life of your battery, charge and discharge it frequently (daily, if possible). Leaving it in the
MiniMerc with it always plugged in will shorten the battery’s life. If the battery will not be used for a long
period of time, store it below room temperature at less than a 50% charge. If you follow these guidelines,
your battery should last for several years.
Warning: You will lose all unsaved data if you change the battery while MiniMerc is in Stand By
mode and no power adapter is connected. Be sure to shut the system down or connect the AC
power adapter before changing the battery.
Handle the battery carefully.
Do not drop, puncture, mutilate,
disassemble, or incinerate it.
Never get batteries wet.
