Crestron TPS-6X-BTP 

Battery Pack for TPS-6X

NOTE:  A Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery typically provides 500 
charge/discharge cycles. 

To charge the TPS-6X-BTP, install the TPS-6X-BTP in a TPS-6X 
touchpanel and mount the touchpanel on a powered TPS-6X-DS or  
TPS-6X-DS-C Docking Station/Charger (TPS-6X-DS-C sold separately). 

NOTE:  The battery pack may take up to three hours to charge in a 
powered touchpanel if the panel is in use during charging. 

Over time, the capacity and voltage of rechargeable Nickel Metal 
Hydride (NiMH) batteries will decrease if the batteries are not recharged 
at regular intervals. This is caused by a chemical reaction that takes place 
within the batteries, commonly known as “self-discharge”. 
Temperature is a major factor affecting the rate of self-discharge of the 
battery when placed in storage. Higher temperatures will increase the rate 
of self-discharge. The storage time table on the following page shows 
how long it will take NiMH batteries to self-discharge at different storage 
temperatures. After the allotted time in storage, the batteries will need to 
be cycled (charged and discharged) to prevent permanent damage to the 
batteries. 
NiMH batteries and packs can be stored at any state of charge. The 
information in the storage time table is valid for batteries in any state of 
charge. A fully discharged battery will last as long in storage as a fully 
charged battery. Storing the battery in a charged state will not increase 
the maximum storage period in the storage time table. 

•  The energy storage capability of the battery negative electrode will 

be decreased if the battery is allowed to completely self-discharge. 
Therefore, it is important to cycle NiMH batteries that have been 
stored for extended periods before use. 

•  If the batteries are cycled (charged and discharged), the storage 

capability will be restored up to 95% of its initial rated capacity 
after the second or third cycle.
