2.3 RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack
CAUTION!
Only use the RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack with the Digital B-RAD Tool System. Using other
batteries may damage the Digital B-RAD Tool System.
CAUTION!
Keep the RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack away from any metal objects. If the battery terminals are
connected by a metal object, the battery will short and cause damage to the battery and
injury to the operator.
The RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack supplies power to the tool and the LCD Display. For the
Digital B-RAD to preform best, ensure the RAD Battery is fully charged and in good
condition before use. In optimal conditions, the RAD Battery should be capable of
approximately 100 Torque Cycles at 50% of the Maximum Torque on a joint with a
hardness of approximately 10 degrees.
Note: The application torque, joint hardness, battery condition, age and operating temperature will
affect the actual number of Torque Cycles per charge.
2.3.1 Insert/Remove the RAD Li-Ion Battery Pack
To insert the RAD Battery:
1. Ensure the On/Off Trigger is in the Off Position (not depressed).
2. Align the RAD Battery with the bottom of the Tool Handle.
3. Slide the RAD Battery into place until it is full seated.
Note: A click will confirm that the RAD Battery is locked in place.
4. Test that the RAD Battery is locked in place by trying to slide it out of place.
To remove the RAD Battery:
1. Press and hold the Battery Release Button.
2. Slide the RAD Battery away from the Tool Handle.
