Appendix C • Super II 115
Battery Use for Portable Operation
A fully charged battery will allow the Setra Super II to operate for approximately 14 hours before recharg-
ing is needed. The battery will last two-thirds as long if the scale is equipped with either a backlight display,
a remote Scale Option or bar code scanner. The “low battery” indicator light on the front panel of the scale
will light up approximately 15 minutes before recharging is necessary. When battery power is too low for
proper scale operation, the circuit will automatically shut off the battery and the scale will cease operation.
Replacement batteries can be ordered from Setra Systems (part number 409740).
Battery Charging
When the “low battery” indicator light on the front panel of the scale turns on, use the following procedure
to recharge the battery:
1. Plug the AC adapter (Setra part number 404712) into an electrical outlet and plug the power cable into the scale. Do not
remove the battery. The scale will automatically recharge the battery from the electrical outlet.
2. The “low battery” indicator light will remain on during recharge until the battery reaches 40% of its rated capacity. This will
take about 2.5 hours with the scale power switch in the “ON” position, and two hours and ten minutes with the switch “OFF”. A
battery powering a scale alone will reach 95% of its rated capacity in 8 hours if the power switch is in the “ON” position
and in 7 hours if the switch is “OFF”. Note that the indicator light will not light up if the scale switch is “OFF”.
3. If the scale is equipped to power a Remote Scale Option or a bar code scanner from the scale’s battery, it is recommended that
battery recharging be done with the scale power switch in the “OFF” position.
4. The charging indicator light on the front panel of the scale will stay on until the battery reaches 95% of its rated capacity. Note
that the charging light will not be lit if the scale power switch is in the “OFF” position. Battery recharging time may vary
slightly depending upon the temperature in the scale operating environment.
Battery Storage
When storing your scale for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect
your battery completely from the recharging unit. Always recharge the battery before storage to
prevent damage to the battery.
