1.3 Battery Holder Using Requirements

•Do not use the battery holder in an environment of water and corrosive gases.

•Do not use the battery holder in environments that are outside the specified

range.

•The battery holder does not support hot swapping. Before installing or removing

the battery holder, power off the instrument and disconnect all charge/discharge

cables to avoid damaging the instrument or battery holder.

1.4 Battery Installation Requirements

•Although the battery holder has the reverse polarity protection, install the

batteries correctly according to the designation of polarity (+ and - symbol) on

the battery holder cover, as is shown in the figure below. Reverse polarity may

cause self-calibration error and even damage the battery holder in the long

term.

Positive End

Negative End

•Do not install any batteries other than the 18650 Lithium-ion batteries, even if

they are of the same size.

•Only use 18650 Lithium-ion batteries. Do not insert 16650 or 12700 batteries

into the battery holder using the conversion device.

•Tighten the cover after inserting Lithium-ion batteries in the battery holder.

•Use new Lithium-ion secondary batteries (hereinafter referred to as Li-ion

batteries) of the same model and state[1] with 3.0 V to 4.2 V initial voltage and

3000 mAh to 3500 mAh nominal capacity per unit. For the battery specifications,

refer to

Table 8.2 Battery Performance

Safety Requirement

BatHolder138 User Guide

•Use batteries with security guarantee. Otherwise, fire or explosion may occur to

bring immeasurable losses. RIGOL shall not be liable for those losses.

•Before and after installation, inspect the battery holder carefully to ensure no

foreign objects (e.g. water, sheet metal, flammable label) inside the battery

holder.

NOTE

[1]: The same state means that the voltage variations of all battery cells should lie between ±50

mV (3.6 V to 4.0 V) and ±100 mV (3.0 V to 3.6 V/4.0 to 4.2 V).

1.5 Battery Holder Storage Requirements

•Store the battery holder at temperatures between -10℃ and 50℃ with less than

80% relative humidity without condensation.

•Store the battery holder in an environment free of corrosive gases.

•Do not modify the battery holder.

•Do not hit the battery holder or drop it onto the hard floor. Otherwise, its casing

will be distorted, causing damage to internal structure of the battery holder. It

may make it difficult to remove batteries or even damage the internal circuit to

bring fire or explosion.

•Keep the battery holder away from exposed metal objects or particles because

they may cause a short-circuit or damage the battery holder.

•When the battery holder is stored with batteries installed, it is recommended to

perform a discharge-charge cycle or charge the battery every 3 months. You can

also press the button to check the battery capacity regularly. Otherwise, the self-

discharge of the battery holder would make the battery run out of charge and

reset the battery holder or even cause irreversible damage to the battery.

•If you do not use the battery holder for an extended period, it is recommended

to remove the batteries.

•The batteries inside the battery holder have a shelf life. Preserve, maintain, and

replace the batteries properly according to the battery manual.

•When shipping the battery holder, please use a Li-ion battery label. For details,

pleases refer to

Battery Shipping Label

1.6 Battery Holder Disposal Requirements

•When the battery holder is ready for disposal, remove all battery cells before

disposing of the battery holder. As lithium-ion batteries are classified as

Safety Requirement

hazardous waste, please properly dispose of them according to local

government regulations.

•When all batteries are removed, be free to dispose of the battery holder.

•Never dispose of the battery holder in fire or its internal electrical components

may emit toxic fumes. It can even cause explosion or serious personal injury if

the battery holder still contains batteries.

1.7 Environmental Considerations

The following symbol indicates that this product complies with the WEEE Directive

2002/96/EC.

The equipment may contain substances that could be harmful to the environment or

human health. To avoid the release of such substances into the environment and

2Product Features

RIGOL provides detachable battery holders for some of its product models. After the

battery holder is installed, it powers the instrument as a power supply when the

instrument has not been connected to AC power. It enables the instrument to work

for hours in place where an AC power source is not available (e.g. in the field). The

actual operating time varies depending on the instrument model. A battery holder

option makes it more flexible to use the instrument, giving you unlimited test

freedom from power source.

The battery holder has the following features:

•Support a maximum of 24 standard 18650 battery cells.

•Two charging methods: external charge and the instrument's charge system.

•It has the cell balancing method and battery protection methods, protecting

batteries from over voltage, under voltage, over current, short circuit, high

temperature, and low temperature.

Battery Holder Overview

6To Use the Battery Holder

This chapter introduces the basic operations of the battery holder, including installing

batteries, installing the battery holder, activation, self-calibration, charging, managing

the battery holder, and check the battery power.

Follow the steps below if you use the battery holder for the first time:

1. After you have purchased the batteries that meet the requirements, install the

batteries in the battery holder (refer to

To Install Batteries

2. Install the battery holder onto your instrument (refer to

To Install Battery Holder

3. Apply AC power to the instrument and perform the activation and self-calibration

process (refer to

Activation

and

Self-calibration

4. After the self-calibration passes, you can use the battery holder.

6.1 To Install Batteries

The battery holder allows you to insert the batteries as required. Please follow the

requirements specified in

Battery Installation Requirements

to install the batteries so

as to avoid any personal injury or damage to the product and any product connected

to it. The company would not be responsible for any problems arising from operation

in violation of precautions.

TIP

The battery holder is not equipped with batteries when leaving factory. Please install the

batteries when first use the battery holder.

To replace or install batteries, follow the steps below:

1. Disconnect the battery holder from the instrument or charger. Loosen the screws

on the cover of the battery holder and remove the cover.

Unscrewing the battery cover resets the self-calibration status of the battery

holder. To use the battery holder, install new specified Li-ion batteries and perform

the activation and self-calibration again (refer to

Activation

and

Self-calibration

2. Remove all batteries (if any) from the battery holder.

3. Install batteries from position 1 following the sequence as illustrated in the figure

below. Group 6 battery cells as a pack (No.1-6 as pack 1, 7-12 as pack 2, 13-18 as

pack 3, 19-24 as pack 4). The batteries must be installed in packs (at least two

packs).

-If you do not fill the battery holder with 4 battery packs (e.g. only 2 or 3 packs),

it will cause insufficient capacity of the battery holder and decreased operating

time of the instrument.

To Use the Battery Holder

BatHolder138 User Guide

-If only one pack (6 battery cells) is installed, the battery holder is not available

for use.

-The installed batteries must meet the requirements specified in

Table 8.2

Battery Performance

. It is recommended to use the Li-ion battery model

mentioned in

battery holder with the rear-panel interface on your instrument and snap the

hooks of the battery holder into the rear-panel grooves.

6.3 To Remove Battery Holder

This section illustrates how to remove the battery holder from your instrument by

taking DHO4000 series oscilloscope as an example.

CAUTION

The battery holder does not support hot swapping. Before installing and removing the

battery holder, power off the instrument and disconnect all power cables to avoid

damaging the instrument or battery holder.

To remove the battery holder, follow the steps below:
