The optional battery life is good for well over 100 photos or viewings between chargings. Optional battery is a 12.6 volt, 7 amp/hour "gel-cell" lead-acid battery which is totally sealed against leakage.

When using a battery supply, you must attach the negative terminal of the High Voltage Output to a secure Earth Ground with the supplied green ground wire. This may be connected to a water pipe, an electrical outlet ground, etc. This is not neccesary if you are using a plug-in power supply.

It is not possible to damage the unit by connecting the power in the wrong way. The unit will not work if connected wrong.

   CAUTION: DISCONNECT POWER SUPPY WHEN NOT IN USE. Do not allow the battery or power supply leads to short. Damage to the battery or power supply will result and this is not covered by the warranty.
