Battery Cell Maintenance and Replacement
To maintain optimal battery health:
- Keep the charge above 50% (at least two battery indicator lights).
- Avoid fully draining the battery, as this may cause it to go dormant and make recharging difficult.
If the battery will not be used for longer than 3 months:
- Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the 4 screws holding the back panel at the corners.
- Remove the back panel off the battery housing.
- Carefully remove the battery cell from the housing and unclip the connector (see Figure 4). Store the cell in a cool, dry place.
- Once the cell is removed, reassemble the housing unit.
Battery Cell Replacement
SurgiTel battery packs are designed with easily replaceable cells, providing convenience, versatility, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Instead of replacing the entire battery pack, users can purchase and install replacement cells when the original degrades.
To replace the battery cell:
- Remove the screw caps and back panel screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
- Remove the used battery cell and insert the new one, clipping the cable securely into the board connector.
- Reattach the back panel and screw on the panel (do not overtighten).
- Fully charge the new battery before first use.

Operating Your Odyssey™ Digital Headlight
- Power On / Off: Press and hold power button (Figure 5) 2 seconds to turn the light on or off.
- Light Intensity: Short press the power button to cycle through three brightness levels: Max, Medium, and Low. The unit will retain the last selected brightness level when powered off and back on.
- Battery Level: The three-step battery level indicator lights (see Figure 6) are located on top of the unit. Three lights indicate a 100% charge, two lights indicate 70%, one light indicates 30%, and the single light will blink when the battery level falls below 15%.
- Recharging: To recharge, connect the included USB Type-C charger to the USB Type-C port located on the bottom of the control unit (see Figure 7).
- Charging Indicator: The charging indicator light, located next to the charging port on the bottom of the unit, glows red while charging and turns green when charging is complete.
- Light-Cured Composites: When working with light-cured composites, set the light to a lower intensity and use an orange color filter (strongly recommended) to prevent premature hardening. (Figure 8)
- Maximum Continuous Operation: Up to 8 hours at max brightness.

Maintenance and Adjustments
Storing the LED system in a safe place will prolong the life of the unit. The following guidelines will help in sustaining the LED systems useful life:
- Keep the optical face on the light unit from touching hard surfaces which may cause scratches on the surface. Scratches on the surface will diminish the light quality.
- Inspect the LED system for damage (e.g., cuts or punctures on the light cord, scratches on the optical face). Do not use if damaged.
- Ensure the battery is charged and connections are secure before use.
