CHARGING THE BATTERIES
This chapter describes how to charge and care for the MWS batteries.
The battery charger is a fully automatic, maintenance-free charger. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: The charger's power switch does not control MWS power. The MWS power switch
located on the power panel controls power to the MWS and connected devices.
To charge the battery, plug the MWS’s AC power cord into a grounded outlet. Charge the
battery:
before using the MWS for the first time (charge it for 7 hours)
when the MWS beeps (see “Battery Life” for indications of low battery conditions)
when the MWS is not in use.
You may be able to operate equipment connected to the MWS for up to four hours while the
cart is charging. However, use of MWS equipment results in slower charge rates.
For optimal performance, we recommend that you turn off all equipment and allow the MWS to
achieve a full charge before returning the MWS to use.
3
You cannot overcharge the battery. The battery charger is “intelligent”; it monitors the battery
condition and does not overcharge the lead acid battery. Battery life is extended by frequent
charging.
CAUTION: Only qualified service personnel may install or replace the two 12-volt
(55 or 75 amp-hours) sealed lead-acid non-venting batteries on the MWS.
If replacing batteries, you must use the same type of battery from the same manufacturer
(as the ones provided with the MWS). Make sure the batteries are NRTL-recognized.
Also, BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the same time to main tain capacity match.
Important Charging Information
WARNING: DANGER! RISK OF ELECTRICAL AND FIRE HAZARD. CERTAIN ACTIONS MAY
RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, SHOCK, OR BURNS.
Do not disassemble the battery charger.
Do not operate the charger if it has been damaged in any way. Do not spill liquids into the
charger, such as water or soft drink.
Do not expose the battery charger to rain or snow. Never charge a frozen battery. The
colder the battery, the longer it takes to charge.
Plug only into a three-prong grounded outlet. Do not alter the AC power cord or plug
provided. Do not operate the battery charger with a damaged cord or plug.
Do not let the battery remain fully or partly discharged for a long time; keep it charged.
Charging the Batteries 3-1
Page 12
If using an extension cord, you must use 18 gauge or heavier for lengths up to 50 feet, or
16 gauge or heavier for lengths up to 100 feet. Use of improper extension cord could cause
fire and electric shock. Use an extension cord bearing the UL listing mark and rated for
four Amperes or greater current capacity.
Pull on the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the battery charger. Locate the
cords where they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
The batteries must be charged when the total voltage is less than 21V. The charger will not
charge if the total voltage is less than 5V. If the total voltage is less than 5V, you need new
batteries.
About the Battery Status LEDs
The charger is mounted on the Power Panel. The MWS Battery
Status LEDs are located on the top-left side of the Power
Panel. To use the Battery Status LEDs, the MWS must be on.
Store the charger in a dry area not subject to prolonged
below freezing temperatures.
The “intelligent” battery charger monitors the batteries
condition and does not overcharge the batteries. It is
recommended to leave the battery charger plugged in and
charging when the MWS is not in use. Battery life is
extended by frequent charging.
The charger’s Power On light is on when all the connections
are correct.
The charger’s Green Full Charge light is on when the
battery is finished charging. Leaving the charger plugged in prevents the battery fro
m self-
discharging.
The MWS Battery Status LEDs provide the most accurate indication of battery status. While
the 24VDC charger has Percentage LEDS that also show battery status, use the three
Battery Status LEDS on the Power Panel.
About the Battery Charger
When charging the batteries with the MWS powered Off, use the charge indicator on the left
side of the charger. The 12VDC and 24VDC chargers display battery status differently.
The 12VDC charger’s bi-color LED displays the following:
Orange
Flashing Green (Slow)
Green
Flashing Green (Fast)

Charging is in process,
but not fully charged.
Batteries are fully
charged (fan off), and
the charger switches
between pulse-charge
and charge.
The charger is not
properly connected to
the batteries.
Page 13
The 24VDC charger has a power LED and five percentage LEDs. When the charger is turned
off (power LED off), the percentage LED shows battery status. The percentage LED flashes
while charging to display battery status. When the batteries are fully charged, the 100 percent
LED stays on.

switch is on or off.
Important Battery Safety Information
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery.
Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the battery
of other electrical part may cause an explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high
enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.
Battery Life
If you leave the battery charger plugged in and constantly charging when the MWS is not in
use (turn MWS power off), the battery life is maximized for the application. The charger does
not overcharge the batteries.
The MWS has signal lights to indicate the battery status as follows. The following voltages are
nominal (not exact) and should be used for reference.
MWS Power Switch
Charging the Batteries 3-3
Page 14
Flashing Orange
Warning! The batteries need immediate charging. The MWS beeps
continuously to alert you of this condition. (Early models have red lights
instead of orange).
Flashing Yellow
Caution! Finish printing the batch, then recharge the MWS. The batteries
are getting low.
Flashing Green
Go! The batteries are charged to approximately 75% or better capacity.
If the CHARGE light does not turn on, make sure the charger is properly connected to the
batteries and the charger has AC power.
If the READY light does not turn on after 18 hours, the batteries are deeply discharged. Call
Technical Support or replace the batteries. If replacing batteries, you must use the same
type of battery from the same manufacturer (as the ones provided with the MWS). Make
sure the batteries are NRTL-recognized. BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the same
time to maintain capacity match.
Frequency of Charging/Run-Time Guidelines
The following information is approximate and should be used for reference. Many factors
affect an individual battery’s performance:
the presence of auxiliary devices
the printing rate (including printhead contrast and number of labels per day)
the complexity of your printed formats
the environment (temperature and humidity in your facility or DC).
“Typical conditions” are defined as:
one Monarch printer printing standard compliance 4x6 labels (5-10 minutes of actual printing
per hour), no auxiliary devices attached to the MWS, and standard environmental conditions
(no excessive heat or humidity).
When using the 24VDC or Symbol 24VDC MWS under typical conditions, the batteries may
last up to 50 to 100 hours before recharging.
When using the AC Power Inverter or 24VDC/115VAC MWS under typical conditions, the
batteries may last up to 24 hours before recharging.
When you notice the batteries need to be charged more frequently, order replacement
batteries. BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the sa me time to maintain capacity
match. For example, if you had 60 hours of use between charges and now have 30 hours
of use between charges, replace the batteries.
Note: The performance of your batteries varies depending on the number of printers and/or
auxiliary devices, such as a scanner or terminal, attached to the MWS.
Frequent charging of the batteries is recommended.
