1. Introduction 1-1 About the AD-1682 The AD-1682 is a rechargeable battery exclusively designed for A&D-manufactured balances. Using the AD-1682, a balance can be operated in a location where an AC power source is not available. Before use, see “1-4 List of Applicable Balances” to check which balances can be powered by the AD-1682.
1-3 Specifications Battery mass Operating temperature range Storage temperature range Operation hours Charging time Charging method External dimensions Output voltage Battery type Output cable length Approximately 1.3 kg +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F) -20°C to +40°C (-4°F to +104°F) Approximately 8 hours (when operated continuously using a GX series balance. Operation hours depend on operating conditions.
2. Charging the Battery Notes Charging the battery before it is completely discharged will shorten the battery life. Whether the battery is completely discharged or not can be determined by the POWER SUPPLY LED indicator when the charger and the battery are disconnected: Indicator “ON”= The battery has some charge remaining. Indicator “OFF” =The battery is completely discharged. Charge the battery fully, until the START LED indicator turns off and the FINISH LED indicator turns on.
3. Using the Battery Use the battery to supply power to the balance as follows: 1. After charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the battery. 2. Insert the output plug into the balance. 3. Turn the power switch to the “POWER SUPPLY” position. The POWER SUPPLY LED indicator will be turned on and the battery will start supplying power to the balance. The POWER SUPPLY LED indicator will be on during the power supplying operation. 4.
