6. The indicator light may stay on momentarily after the battery pack is
removed from the charger. ALWAYS wait for the indicator light to go
out before inserting another pack.
NOTICE:
To prevent excessive discharge of the vehicle battery, do not
charge more than one battery pack without operating the vehicle.
Indicator Light Operation
Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light
flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into
the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to
determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly,
then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a service
center or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack
elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger
tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the
charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the
battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack
Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red
light flashes long, then short while in the Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.

outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger,
as shown in Figure 2, making sure the
pack is fully seated in charger. The red
(charging) light will blink continuously,
indicating that the charging process
has started.
3. The completion of charge will be
indicated by the red light remaining
ON continuously. The pack is fully
charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
4. The indicator light will remain on for an additional 24 hours while the
charger maintains your battery pack in a fully charged condition.
5. After 24 hours, the charger will shut off automatically to reduce the
amount of energy drained from the vehicle’s battery.
