FROM THE TEK MANUAL:
The TDS3BATC battery pack is for use with TDS3000, TDS3000B, and TDS3000C series oscilloscopes.
The 14.4 VDC battery pack consists of an array of Lithium-Ion battery cells.
The firmware in your TDS3000 or TDS3000B series oscilloscope must be Version 3.26 or above for the battery gauge ( ) to work properly. All firmware versions in the TDS3000C series include the gauge.
The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years, or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs
first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged again. You should use a
two to three year life expectancy for batteries that do not run through complete charge cycles.
A rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery has a limited life and will gradually lose its capacity to hold a charge. This loss of
capacity (aging) is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it will power the product (run time) decreases.
