Product Update:
Higher Capacity Solo770 Battery Baton and Solo727 Charger replacing Solo760 Battery Baton and Solo726 Charger
As part of our continuous improvement policy, we are introducing a new and improved version of the Solo760 Battery Baton and the Solo726 Charger. The change to, what will be, higher capacity batons is driven by our suppliers as they move to higher capacity cells demanded by other industries - which has made the current cells increasingly difficult to source.
Products Affected
Solo 760 battery batons will be replaced by Solo 770 battery batons Solo 726 charger for use with the Solo 760 will be replaced with the Solo 727 charger for use with the Solo 770 batons Solo 760 and Solo 726 will continue to be available as spares
What happends to the Solo and Testifire Kits?
All existing Solo & Testifire kits that include the products below will be updated to include the battery batons and charger: Solo Battery Batons are used with the follow products:
Solo 460 Cordless Heat Tester
Testifire 1000 – All-in-one Smoke and Heat tester
Testifire 2000 – All-in-one Smoke, Heat, and CO tester
Scorpion 7000 and 8000 – Scorpion Controllers
NOTE:
All existing 2-baton kits that include the above products will be updated to include the higher-capacity batteries and charger, with existing part numbers staying the same. 1-baton kits are now also available for those users for whom a single higher-capacity baton will be sufficient. These kits will have new part numbers.
Compatibility
Each charger and battery combination is designed and certified to give a 60-90 minutes charge time i.e. Solo726 charges Solo760 batons, and Solo727 charges Solo770 batons. To help match the battery to the charger, a red sleeve has been added to the Solo727 Charger (on the battery lead) which corresponds to a red collar on the top of the Solo727 battery baton.
The Solo727 charger will not charge Solo760 batons.
Availability and End of Life (EoL)
The new higher capacity battery baton and charger will be rolled out to our various markets starting from 1st June 2016. The Solo760 Battery Baton and Solo726 charger will continue to be available separately as spares for a period of at least 12 months after the release of the Solo727 and Solo770 i.e. until June 2017. Further End of Life (EoL) statements will be posted on our website at www.solo-tester.com
