Question

LabQuest battery discharges or runs out of battery quickly

Answer

If the LabQuest battery has been used heavily or subjected to very high or low temperatures (such as in a UPS truck), it may run out of battery quickly, even after being fully charged.

Calibrating the battery can help you determine if the battery needs to be replaced. For instructions on calibrating the battery, see:
