3.3 BATTERY
All EXOs are shipped with a pre-installed battery pack and a quick charger.
Battery life
The battery pack can power EXO for over 100 days. This will vary
depending on device congurations, alarm and alert response,
operating temperature, sensor types and pump usage. In operational
temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), the battery pack’s runtime will drop
signicantly. See section 8.4 for more information about running EXO in
cold temperature.
Battery storage
For long-term storage, Blackline recommends the battery is stored at
20°C (68°F).
QUICK CHARGER
The EXO quick charger connects directly to the EXO battery and
charges it overnight. Removal of the battery from EXO must be
done in a safe environment with a clean atmosphere, specically an
atmosphere without explosive gas.
SAFETY WARNING: DO NOT allow metal tools or personal items to touch
the battery terminals. Touching metal or any conductive material to the
battery terminals is extremely dangerous and will damage the battery.
