3 Batteries
3.1 Operating Principles
•The battery must be charged before using it for the rst time because it is delivered
with an energy content as low as possible.
•The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/+32 °F to
+104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambi-
ent temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F if possible.
•It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery once the
temperature is too high.
•For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
•For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufcient. We recom-
mend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger
or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates signicantly from the actual battery
capacity available.
•The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F.
•Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating
temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.
