10.3. BATTERY PACK REPLACEMENT
It is recommended that the battery packs contained in each unit should be replaced
every 300 charge / discharge cycles. This number can be read and displayed with the
optional RFD Test Box. If a Test Box is not available, this number can be estimated
by your typical usage. It is recommended that the battery pack is replaced by the
factory so that the case seals can be fully tested prior to re-deployment. For this
reason, it may be desirable to arrange battery pack replacement with Scheduled
Service of the RFD system. To ensure quality and safety, only OEM battery packs
can be used in the RFD units.
Battery Pack Replacement Procedure
