INTENDED USE
ACCU TYPE 9, ACCU TYPE 10, ACCU TYPE 14 and ACCU TYPE 24,
later called ACCU batteries, are intended to be used to supply
power to umbilical dive lights operating at a maximum of 12 V.
ACCU batteries feature one connection terminal at the top part
of the casing. The terminal is intended for power supply of any
Ammonite System umbilical dive light and for the battery charging.
GETTING READY FOR OPERATION
It is recommended to use a fully charged battery to maximise
its operation time.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
In the case of a longer period of non-use, the battery capacity
must be checked by connecting the charger to the charging
port.
If need be, the battery should be charged up.
PRECAUTIONS
LI-ION BATTERY PACKS
The battery should not be left unattended while being charged.
The battery pack must be fully charged before its first use.
Deep discharge of the pack i.e. one below 8.0 V (15% on the
battery display) should be avoided.
The batteries discharge spontaneously even when they are not
used. This may result in deep discharge and, consequently, loss
of capacity or deterioration of the battery pack.
Before use in water, condition of the electric cables, particularly
the E/O cable, and the charging port plug (if used) should be
checked.
If any damage is detected, the battery pack should not be used.
The battery should be checked for leak tightness.

The company Ammonite System will not be held responsible for
any damage resulting from the misuse of ACCU battery.
CHARGING THE LI-ION BATTERY
To charge the battery, you must connect the charger to a
100–240 V ~ power source.
Proper performance of the charger is indicated on the blue
backlit display.
The output plug of the charger must be connected to the
battery charging terminal.
The charge start is indicated by the display changing its colour
from blue to red and displaying information on the battery pack
charge status.
The indications on the charger display are only
approximate. They serve to determine the
estimated battery level.
USE OF THE LI-ION BATTERY:
The battery must be charged only with the AMMO LITHIUM
CHARGER supplied by Ammonite System.
The battery must not be discharged below the voltage level of
8.0 V (15% on the battery charger display).
PERFORMING THE
FOLLOWING IS PROHIBITED:
•Open/cut the protective wrap of the battery pack.
•Interfere with the battery construction.
•Short-circuit the battery contact pins.
•Use ACCU battery with other batteries than genuine
Ammonite System battery packs.
•Throw the battery or pierce the cells’ casing
•Put the battery into fire.
•Immerse the battery pack into the water.
STORAGE CONDITIONS OF LI-ION
BATTERIES
The battery should be stored in a dry, ventilated room in
ambient temperatures from +10 °C to +40 °C.
Temperatures higher than +60 °C may cause damage to the
internal parts of the battery.
Charging the battery must always take place in a positive
temperature: from 10 °C to +40 °C.
If the battery was stored in negative temperature, it is
necessary to let it adjust by leaving it in a temperature of at least
+10 °C for 4-5 hours.
While diving in winter, you must not store the battery in a
negative temperature (e.g. in a car boot or outdoors).
Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to its internal
parts.
Discharge of the battery may take place in temperatures
ranging from +10 °C to +40 °C.
The battery may be stored after prior charge up to 70%-100%
(storing a discharged battery leads to its deterioration).
The battery must be stored away from sources of fire and
damp, as well as food.
When stored, the battery must be charged at least once
every six months or more often if the voltage on its connection
terminal amounts to less than 8.5 V (20% on the charger
display).
You must check the voltage/capacity on the battery connection
terminal once a month using the charger included in the kit or
another appropriate measuring instrument.
