BATTERY-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
a. Battery Care:
Rechargeable Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries require proper
care and use to ensure maximum life (number of charges and
duration of use). Fully charge your SLA battery before using it
the first time. Do not store your battery for more than 4-6 weeks
without charging. Normally, a SLA battery will self-discharge
1% per day even when not in use.
b. Battery Capacity:
Your lamp is supplied with a 5Ah (ampere-hour) SLA battery
that will initially give 3 or more hours of use. As the battery ages,
hours of use will normally decrease. A fully charged battery that
will not keep the lamp lit continuously for more than 1 hour is
considered depleted and should be replaced.
Replacement batteries are available from OttLite as well as other
sources. However, a battery of less than 5Ah capacity will give
fewer hours of use.
SLA batteries are the best choice for long use time, rechargeabil-
ity, and economy however they take a long time to charge to full
capacity. To ensure a full capacity charge, let your battery charge
overnight (12 to 16 hours). Short use times (less than an hour) and
short charge times (1 to 12 hours) will not hurt your battery for a
few operations, but always fully charge the battery when possible.
c. Power Indicator light (N): The Power Indicator light indicates
that the lamp is connected to AC power (wall outlet); a connected
battery will be charging when the light is RED. To ensure optimal
capacity, charge the battery for 12 to 16 hours after use.
