Safe & Managed Power: Proper communication ensures safe charging cycles and prevents over-discharge, protecting both the battery and your expensive OTDR.
Direct Fit & Function: Designed as a complete drop-in replacement that maintains all original smart functionalities.
SAFETY, CHARGING & FIELD OPERATION PROTOCOLS
For Qualified Technicians: Intended for use by trained fiber optic technicians or network engineers.
Use EXFO Approved Charger Only: MUST be charged using the official EXFO FTB series charger or docking station. The SMBus port requires communication with the correct charger for safe and complete charging. Third-party chargers will not work correctly and are unsafe.
Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Adhere to all battery handling, storage, and operating temperature instructions in the EXFO FTB User Manual.
Transport Note: The 95.04W h energy rating is just under the common 100Wh limit for airline carry-on spare batteries, but always verify current IATA/FAA regulations before travel.
Professional Disposal: Recycle this smart lithium-ion battery at a certified e-waste facility.
