Torbal BAS Series - Manual (Page 10)

- 9 -
The BAS Crane Scale is equipped with six Ni-MH 1.2V or two 3.7V internal rechargeable batteries. The
battery pack is built in as an integrated part of the scale’s back cover. The battery has been designed to handle
up to 1,000 charging cycles, which should allow the battery to last anywhere from two to three years. The
battery pack should be replaced when after fully charged its operating time is reduced to 20% of its nominal
value (fewer than 4 hours). In order to replace the battery pack, please contact Torbal Technical Support.
Never attempt to replace the battery on your own. By doing so you may cause scale damage and void the
manufacture’s warranty.
Useful Tips for Operating the Scale with a Battery
• In order to increase the battery’s operating life, it is recommended to set the scale’s back light mode to
(“back light battery” – B_LBAT). Refer to Chapter 29 (LCD back light).
• The scale’s internal battery’s are always in the charging mode when the scale is plugged into a power
outlet. Do not allow the battery’s to completely discharge as this may damage the battery or reduce its
life.
• When operating the unit on batteries it is recommended to enable the scale’s “Auto-Off” function by
setting it to AUT BAT. This will turn the scale off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. Refer to
Chapter 30 (Auto Off).
