To Remove the Battery Pack
1. Turn the two fasteners on the access door counter clockwise 1/4 turn,
2. Grasp handle and pull the battery pack straight out. The battery will
automatically disengage from its connectors.
The battery will operate for up to 100 hours (depending on LED brightness setting)
before requiring recharging. In order to conserve battery life, the scale includes an
automatic power off mode which senses operational status for no activity after 15, 30,
45, or 60 minutes, and turns the scale off. An additional battery saving feature is the
automatic sleep mode. This feature preserves battery life by dimming the display after
5, 15, or 30 minutes of no scale activity. Charging time for a completely discharged
battery is up to eight hours. A spare battery pack is recommended to keep the
Challenger 3 in continuous operation.
Note
To obtain maximum service life from your batteries they should be stored
between -4°F and 122°F (-20°C and +50°C). Stored batteries should be
recharged every three months. Battery is fully charged when the status
indicator is flashing.
