REPLACEMENT The optional ML2430A Series Power Meter battery is a 12 Volt, 3000
mA-h nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) multi-cell pack, located in a compart-
ment on the bottom of the housing. The compartment cover is secured by
fractional turn fasteners, as shown in Figure 2-1. Rotate the fasteners ap-
proximately ¼-turn counterclockwise to release the cover.
NOTE
The battery is shipped with a partial charge only, and
should be fully charged before use.
The battery can be completely charged in about two hours with the power
meter in standby mode by selecting
CHARGE from the System menu
(page 4-30). This selection is available only when the instrument is being
powered by AC line power or external DC power greater than 21 volts.
Note that the instrument will shut down during the charging cycle, and re-
start automatically when the charging is completed. A series of 10 beeps
signals completion of the charge cycle.
The external battery charger (option ML2400A-13) can completely charge
the battery in 2.5 hours.
