Batteries and Power 3
Charging the Lithium-ion batteries
C
WARNING – Charge and use the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery only in strict
accordance with the instructions. Charging or using the battery in unauthorized
equipment can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage.
To prevent injury or damage:
– Do not charge or use the battery if it appears to be damaged or leaking.
– Charge the Lithium-ion battery only in a Trimble product that is specified to charge it.
Be sure to follow all instructions that are provided with the battery charger.
– Discontinue charging a battery that gives off extreme heat or a burning odor.
– Use the battery only in Trimble equipment that is specified to use it.
– Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the instructions in the product
documentation.
The rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries are supplied partially charged.
Note – Charge the battery completely before using it for the first time. If the battery has
been stored for longer than three months, charge it before use.
To charge the battery, first remove the battery from the receiver, and then place it in
the following battery charger, which is connected to mains power:
• The dual-slot GPS battery charger (P/N 61116-00) and power supply
(P/N 59221-00):
Storing the Lithium-ion battery
If you must store a Lithium-ion battery for long periods, make sure that it is fully
charged before it is stored, and that you charge it at least once every three months
while it is stored.
Do not allow a battery that is in storage to discharge to below 5 V. A battery that
reaches deep discharge level (5 V or less) cannot be recharged and must be replaced.
(To protect a battery that is in use from deep discharge, the receiver switches power
sources or stops drawing power when the battery pack discharges to 5.9 V.)
All batteries discharge over time when not in use, and they discharge faster in colder
temperatures. Do not store the receiver at temperatures outside the range –40 °C to
+70 °C (–40 °F to +158 °F).
