Maintenance
Battery Replacement
The BP100 Battery Pack contains eight rechargeable NiMH AA batteries. These batteries have a finite lifespan, typically 1-2 years depending on usage. If you experience significantly reduced battery life, the internal AA batteries may need replacement. To replace them:
