Charging
To charge your battery, 1st connect the charger to the battery and then connect the
plug to the mains outlet. Initially the charger will display a red light, this will turn to green
when the battery is fully charged. Charging can take up to 5 hours depending how low
the power level is. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger from the
mains outlet then disconnect from the battery, this minimises the chance of a short-circuit.
WARNING!
If the battery is left for an extended period of time with the display having the red
indicator light lit, damage can be caused to the battery. The consequences of this will mean
that the usable life of the battery will decrease.
WARNING!
If you are not planning on using your battery for an extended period of time, fully
charge the battery before putting it into storage, we recommend you give the battery a top up
charge every 4 weeks during this time to prevent any of the cells breaking down.
