Eos/
Apollo 9 pack, and 3 hours for an Explorer/Eos/Apollo 13.5 pack.
Warning
:
Your Halcyon NiMH charger has
a switch next to the power cord that allows
the unit to be used with either 110-115 volt
or 220-230 volt outlets. Make sure that
you have the switch set correctly for your
conditions. Failure to set the charger for
the proper voltage can damage the
charger's electronics.
The charge proceeds in two stages:
•
Bulk Charge. Current is supplied to the battery pack at a rate pro-
grammed
by Halcyon into the charger specifically for Explorer and
Apollo packs.
•Topping Charge. Current is supplied at a fraction of the
bulk charge rate.
If the charger is plugged in to a power source but no battery is connected,
the red light will indicate that the charger is searching for a battery to charge.
Once a battery is connected, the yellow light will indicate that the charger
has entered the Bulk Charge state. Once the battery pack is completely
charged, the green light will indicate that the system has entered its Topping
Charge state. In some cases heat or power fluctuations may trick the charger
causing it to switch off prematurely. You
may check the charge of your pack by disconnecting the battery and waiting
for 3-5 seconds, reconnect the battery and see if the yellow light appears.
For a fully discharged battery, the complete charging process should take
approximately 1 hour for an Explorer/Eos 4.5 pack, 2 hours for an Explorer/
Engage the lid plugs with the battery cap's gold receptacles to provide power to
the light (top). To charge the battery pack, push the charger's steel connectors
completely into the battery pack's gold receptacles until the charger assembly
rests on the lid (right).
