REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
Battery Sleeve
Identify the required battery sleeve. To remove or install
the sleeve, perform the following steps:
Removal - Use the following instructions to remove a
charger sleeve:
1. Turn the charger upside down. Locate the two re-
cessed holes for the applicable sleeve screws and
remove them using a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Turn the charger right side up and remove the sleeve.
This can be done by inserting a couple of fingers into
the sleeve cavity and gently pull upward while hold-
ing the base down.
Installation - Use the following instructions to install a
charger sleeve:
1. With the sleeve circuit board facing the rear of the
charger, tilt the sleeve slightly forward and insert it
into the charger base.
2. Align the sleeve’s side molding with the grooves in
the charger’s base. The sleeve will drop into the base
until it meets the connector pins.
3. Press down gently but firmly on the top center of the
sleeve until it seats fully into the base. The top of the
sleeve will be flush with the top of the base. Do not
force the sleeve into the base, the base connector pins
will slip into the sleeve connector using a minimum
amount of pressure.
4. Turn the charger upside down. Secure the sleeve in
the charger base by installing the two sleeve screws.
NOTE
Occasionally, when charging a new battery or a
battery which has been out of use for a few months,
the charger will prematurely switch to the trickle
charge before the battery has been fully charged. If
this happens, allow the battery to continue trickle
charging overnight. Then remove and reinsert the
battery and observe that the battery goes through a
normal rapid charge before putting it into service.
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the charger
from the power source before removing or replacing
any component or assembly.
