There are two versions of the StorMax monitor with two different battery configurations. Read below to learn about them and when it is appropriate to change the batteries.
The StorMax Monitor comes in two different basic versions and each version requires it's own type of battery configuration. StorMax Monitors made prior to 2014 require 3 X 1.5V Rechargeable Alkaline AA Batteries, while monitors manufactured after 2014 require the use of a 3.7V battery pack that is manufactured and sold by OPIsystems Inc. To tell which type of battery you need, simply open the StorMax Monitor battery cover that is held in place with one small philips screw, located on the back of the monitor. You may need to remove the KITU accessory from the monitor to access the battery panel.
Once you open the panel, you will either 6 battery terminal contacts that fit into the StorMax Monitor case, or a 3 wire connection with a black, white, and red wire leading to the monitor interior. If you have 6 battery terminals, you need 3 X 1.5V Rechargeable Alkaline AA Batteries. If you have the 3 wire connection, you will need the 3.7V battery pack.
To change the batteries, simply replace the old batteries with the new ones after you have opened the cover and identified the correct battery to use. Once you have changed the batteries, replace the back cover panel and tighten the philips head screw.
NOTE: In the case of needing 3 X 1.5V Rechargeable Alkaline AA Batteries, do not substitute 1.5V Lithium Ion batteries or 1.2V Nickle Metal Hydride batteries. These batteries have different voltage and charging profiles which are incompatible with the StorMax Monitor.
