Chapter 3: Managing Batteries General

General

The Ectane™ uses lithium-ion–type rechargeable batteries. This type of battery

does not suffer from the “memory effect” affecting batteries of previous

generations.

Charging the Batteries

Usually, batteries charge automatically in the Ectane whenever the instrument is

plugged in a wall outlet and turned on.

Note Batteries will not charge if their internal temperature exceeds 45 °C (113 °F). Also,

batteries will not power the Ectane if the instrument’s internal temperature exceeds

55 °C (131 °F).

However, Eddyfi provides an optional external charger that also conditions and

calibrates your batteries, which is important to maximize their useful lifespan and

ensure accurate readings for the battery charger indicator in Magnifi

Eddyfi recommends calibrating batteries at least every six months (for more

information on calibrating batteries, see “Calibrating Batteries” on page 47).

WARNING!

Whenever carrying the Ectane in its transportation case, YOU MUST remove

the batteries from the instrument and make sure that they can not come in

contact during transport, as this could result in a significant fire or explosion

hazard.

When carrying the Ectane, it is the user’s responsibility to make sure that the

safety precautions used are in accordance with the local department of

transportation’s (or equivalent governing body) rules and regulations.

The transportation case provided with the Ectane comes with two slots fitted

to receive batteries once removed from the instrument. Use them.
