APPENDIX A

Care of Portable Batteries

General

OmniSTAR supply a 12V portable battery pack to supply DC power for the

receiver in the field. This is a ‘starved electrolyte battery’, which means that it is

maintenance free. However, it is important to care for these batteries and to follow

a strict charging regime in order to ensure a reliable DC power supply and long

battery life. After all, the last thing you want in the field is a flat battery!

Electrical Care of Batteries

Starved electrolyte batteries do not like to be fully discharged; this can shorten

their life. Therefore, it is important to put them on-charge regularly, keeping a log

of charging and usage.

It is recommended that an ‘intelligent’ charger be used. The intelligent charger will

charge the battery normally until fully charged, then revert to a trickle charge.

Do not put batteries on-charge using an ordinary charger that will keep on

charging at the normal rate, even when the battery is fully charged. This can

damage the battery and shorten its life.

Physical Care of Batteries

Batteries should be kept clean and dry. Dirt and moisture between the battery

terminals can cause the charge to leak away, resulting in an unexpected flat

battery when you switch on your equipment in the field.

When transporting and installing batteries care should be taken to ensure that the

terminals do not come into contact with such things as metal casings, vehicle

chassis parts etc.

Batteries should not be stored in an uncharged condition, as this will cause the

internal parts to deteriorate. When a battery is to be stored, always charge it first.
