Batteries and Charging
The TEN-SCTE uses rechargeable batteries such as NiMH. These
batteries all have special requirements to preserve performance
and last.
•
Read all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
batteries.
•
Never allow minors to charge battery packs.
•
Always check to ensure the polarity of battery connection
is correct.
•
Never leave batteries unattended while charging.
•
Never charge a battery while it is installed in the TEN-SCTE.
•
Do not charge any battery that appears to have any
damage.
•
I f there are exposed wires, do not charge or use the
battery until you install shrink-wrap or replace the
complete wire.
When charging NiMH batteries, select a charger to meet your
requirements. You need a charger that is a 100-240V wall
charger or one which requires a 12V power supply. Follow the
charger manufacturer's instructions and precautions during
each use.

Peak Detection Charger
Peak Detection Charger
Peak detection chargers monitor the battery during charging
and automatically shut off upon full charge. You can either
purchase a peak detection charger that plugs into a household
AC wall socket or one that requires you to also purchase a 12V
power supply.
If using a charger other than a peak detection charger, make
sure your battery is fully discharged prior to charging. Many of
these have a 15–20 minute timer that allows you to set a charge
time. If the battery is not fully discharged, you can potentially
over-charge your battery pack. Do not charge any battery
unattended, and monitor for heat build up. If the battery pack
is more than warm to the touch, immediately discontinue
charging. Read all safety precautions supplied by the charger
and battery manufacturer.
