Operating
the calculator for more than 2 to 5 minutes after this low power
indication first occurs may result in calculation errors. The battery
pack must be recharged by connecting the HP-80 to its battery charger (HP Model 82002A).

Recharging and AC Line Operation
|
The HP-80 should be turned off before plugging in the charger. It can be
turned on again after the charger is plugged into the power outlet and
can be used during the charging cycle. The HP-80 can be operated continuously from the ac line if desired. There is no danger of overcharging the battery.

After 14
hours, a completely discharged battery will be fully charged. Shorter
charge periods will allow reduced battery operating time. For
convenience, overnight charging is recommended.

select switch on the battery charger must be set to the proper line
voltage.
