12.3 The batteries
12.3.1 Batteries
Altus supplies high quality 18650 3.7V Li-Ion batteries with the APS-NR2.
These batteries are available as spare parts.
The user may choose to buy spare batteries from another source.
Before buying spare batteries from another source, it is advised to read reviews of the
batteries.
The battery specification must state that the batteries contain a protection
circuit.
The cell inside the battery must be supplied by a well known brand (Panasonic,
LG, Samsung,...)
The warranty is void if the APS-NR2 is damaged by using low quality spare batteries
12.3.2 Charging
The APS-NR2’s batteries can best be charged in the supplied external battery charger.
For a totally drained battery a charging time of 3,5 to 4 hours can be expected.
The user may choose to buy a charger from another source.
Before buying a charger from another source, it is advised to read reviews of the
charger.
Low quality battery chargers do not fully charge the batteries.
Battery chargers that can charge batteries of different technologies (e.g. Li-Ion
and NiMH) typically do not optimally charge the batteries.
The APS-NR2's batteries can also be charged while they are in the device using the
supplied wall charger.
Although the APS-NR2 can be charged using the USB communication cable, it is not
advised. Depending on the design of the USB charger used, connecting the charger may
stop logging to the internal disk.
Connecting the APS-NR2 to a USB charger may stop the logging.
