Battery troubleshooting
aim L12 will not power on
Connect the aim L12 to its USB-C charger and give it a full charge before retesting. If no charging indicator appears, check the cable, connector and power source first.
USB-C charging does not start
Inspect the USB-C port for lint, dirt or moisture and make sure the plug seats fully. Try another known-good compatible cable before assuming the internal battery has failed.
Battery life is below the published figure
The aim L12 is listed at 5,000+ measurements. That figure is an ideal reference, not a guarantee; battery age, temperature and repeated use can reduce real-world runtime.
Battery drops faster during heavy use
The aim L12 includes LCD. Using these features heavily can increase power draw compared with occasional laser-only readings.
