of Lithium-Ion battery cells.

When the battery is installed, an internal circuit monitors the
charge on the battery and reports the condition to either the
WFM2200 waveform monitor or the WFM 200BC External
Battery Charger.

When the battery is not installed, you can check the battery
charge level by pressing the Check button on the back of the
battery pack. LEDs illuminate to indicate the amount of charge
in increments of approximately 20%.

Battery Maintenance Guidelines

The WFM200BA Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack
requires routine maintenance and care in its use and handling.
Be sure to use the following guidelines to safely use the
WFM200BA Lithium-Ion batteries and achieve the maximum
battery life span.

ry Pack Considerations

Batte

Do not leave a battery unused for an extended period of time,

r in the product or in storage. When a battery has been

eithe
unused for six months, check the charge status, and charge or

se of the battery as appropriate. See Charging the Battery

dispo
Pack and Battery Recycling.

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two
to three years, or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs
first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to
fully discharged, and fully recharged again. You should expect
a two to three year life e xpectancy for batteries that do not run
through complete charge cycles.

A rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery has a limited life and
will gradually lose its capacity to hold a charge. T his loss of
capacity (aging) is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity,
the length of time it will power the product (run time) decreases.

Battery Pack Maintenance

Observe and note the run time that a new fully-charged
battery provides for powering your product. You can
use this new battery run time as a basis to compare run
times for older batteries. The run time of your battery
will vary depending on the product’s configuration and
the applications that you run.

The battery pack gives the best performance when operated
at normal room temperature, 20 °C ±5 °C (68 °F ±9 °F).

Routinely check the charge status of the battery.

Carefully monitor a battery that is approaching the end
of its estimated life.

Consider replacing the battery with a new one if the battery
run time drops below about 80% of the original run time,
or the battery charge time increases significantly.

Follow the storage requirements if you store or do not use
a battery fo

r an extended period. If you do not follow the
storage requirements, and the battery will not power the
waveform mo

nitor when installed, consider the battery
to be damaged. Do not connect power to the waveform
monitor dur

ing this time. Remove the battery pack from
the waveform monitor. Do not attempt to recharge or reuse
the battery

. Replace it with a new battery.

Battery Pack Charging

The battery

pack charges automatically when the waveform
monitor is connected to the external power supply. You can
also charge

the battery pack with the Tektronix WFM200BC
External Battery Charger. Remove the battery pack from the
WFM200BC ch

arger when charging is complete.

A Lithium-Ion battery pack will self-discharge during non-use.
To achieve the longest operating time, charge your battery
pack before use. If you plan to store battery packs, read
the instructions in the Battery Pack Storage section of this
document.

When the battery pack is in the WFM2200 waveform monitor,
the battery gauge (

) on the waveform monitor display

indicates the approximate amount of charge.

To avoid automatic shutdown of the battery pack, only run
the wavefo

rm monitor on the battery pack when the gauge

on the waveform monitor is green or yellow.

Always verify the correct placement of the battery in the
WFM2200 waveform monitor or the WFM200BC battery
charger.

When the battery pack is installed in the waveform
monitor, it will automatically charge whenever the
supplied AC adapter is connected, whether the instrument
is On, Off, or in Standby mode.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the battery pack, use only

the WFM2200 waveform monitor or the WFM200BC
battery charger to charge the battery pack. Do not connect
any other voltage source to the battery pack.

NOTE. For optimum performance, charge the battery pack

completely before using it for the first time or after prolonged
storage.

To discharge the battery pack completely, continue to run
the waveform monitor on the battery pack until automatic
shutdown occurs. After the instrument shuts down, either
recharge the battery pack promptly or remove it from the
instrument until you are ready to recharge the battery pack.

NOTE. To prolong the life of the battery pack and to prevent

shutdown, do not operate or charge the battery pack at high
temperatures. For best results, allow the battery pack to cool to
room temperature before using or charging the battery pack.

Do not leave a battery pack discharged for extended periods.
See the Stor

ing Battery Packs section for information on how to

properly store a battery pack.

The battery

pack stops charging under the following conditions:

The battery pack is fully charged.

The internal temperature of the battery pack exceeds the
safe charging threshold.

A fault cond

ition occurs.

The battery pack shuts down and disconnects itself from the
WFM2200 waveform monitor under the following conditions:

The battery pack is fully discharged.

The interna

l temperature of the battery pack exceeds the

safe discharging threshold.

A fault condition occurs.

Battery Pa

ck Handling

Do not disassemble, crush, drop, or puncture the battery.

Do not short the external contacts on the battery.

Do not dispose of the battery in fire or water.

Do not expo

se the battery to temperatures above +60 °C

(+140 °F).

Seek medical advice if a battery or part of it has been
swallowed.

Do not put battery packs near heat or fire. Do not put in
sunlight.

Keep the ba

ttery pack clean and dry. Clean dirty

connectors with a dry, clean cloth.

Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns
or explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with
soap and water and get medical aid. Repair the product
before use if the battery leaks.

Do not attempt to open, modify, reform or repair a battery
pack that appears to be malfunctioning, or which has been
physically damaged.

Keep the battery away from children and animals.

Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock or vibration.

Do not use a damaged battery or charger.

If a batte

ry pack has leaking fluids, do not touch any

fluids. Dispose of a leaking battery pack. See the

Battery R

ecycling section for information on disposal and

recycling.

In case of eye contact w ith fluid, do not rub eyes.
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least
15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence
of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention.

Battery Pack Storage

Store battery packs in a low-humidity environment free of
corrosive gases. Storing battery packs in high-humidity
environments, or outside the temperature range, can
cause oxidation on the metallic parts, increased leakage,
significant aging and premature failure.

ot store b attery packs near heat or fire. Do not store

Do n
in the sunlight.

Do not keep battery packs in a place where the terminals
can be shorted by metal objects (for example, coins, paper
clips, or pens).

Do not remove a battery pack from its original packaging
until required for use.

When possible remove the battery pack from the
equipment when not in use.

Charge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity at
least once every six months.

Remove the battery and store it separately from the
instrument. Refer to the WFM2200 User Manual for
instructions on removing and installing the battery.

For optimal battery life, store the battery at temperatures
between +5 °C and +25 °C (+41 °F and +77 °F). Higher
temperatures reduce the battery storage life.

Battery Pack Replacement

Use the instructions to remove and replace battery packs.

NOTE. Replace the Lithium-Ion battery pack only with a

WFM200BA battery pack.

See the Battery Recycling section for information on how to
properly dispose of a Lithium-Ion battery pack.
