Charging the Battery ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
A 6-volt NiCd battery powers the printer. Charge the battery
✦ when you receive the printer.
✦ when the LED indicator shows a battery condition (slow
blinking green or blank).
In general, NiCd batteries require 5-8 charge/deplete cycles to
reach full charge.
n
When first charging a battery, charge it for 14 hours,
regardless of whether you’re using the fast or trickle charger.
When you’re not charging or using the battery, it loses 2-3% of
its charge daily. Extremely hot environments increase this
charge loss rate and extremely cold environments decrease
this charge loss rate.
