Charging a Battery
After connecting the battery charger to a proper power
source, the battery charger simply plugs into the charger
jack on the HI-6005. The HI-6005 must be turned off or
the battery will not charge.
CAUTION!
NEVER attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable battery.
Charging Indicators
The fast chargers for the HI-6005 are intelligent chargers.
Six LEDs located on the front of the charger provide
operating information to the user.
The POWER ON LED (green) will remain lit as long as the
charger is plugged into the AC power source.
If the charger does not detect a battery, the NO
BATTERY LED (amber) will light.
When the charger does detect the HI-6005's battery, the
PENDING LED (amber) lights. Before fast charging can
begin, the battery voltage must fall within predetermined
acceptable limits. A Pulse-Trickle charge is provided to
bring a depleted battery to a valid charge prior to fast
charge.
Once the voltage pre-qualification condition has been
met, fast charge begins and the CHARGING LED (amber)
will light. Fast charging continues until termination by a
peak voltage detect or a maximum charge time. For peak
voltage detect, the fast charge is terminated when the
battery voltage is lower than the previously measured
values by 24mV. If a peak voltage is not detected, then
the fast charge is terminated when the maximum time
limit of 180 minutes is reached.
