Battery Charging
Inserting and Removing Battery Packs
To insert a battery pack, place the end of the battery without the locking tab into the bottom of
the charging pocket and snap the battery into place with a hinging motion.
To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the battery away from the
charging slot with a hinging motion.
Charging Process
Li-ion battery packs achieve a full charge in four hours. Each charging slot works
independently of the other three. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the
two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process
monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage.
Temperature
Li-ion battery packs charge in four hours when charged within the recommended temperature
range of 50° to 95° F (10
°
to 35
°
C). Temperature has a significant effect on charging. For best
results, battery packs should be at room temperature when inserted into the charge slots.
When the battery temperature exceeds 40
°
C, charge time may exceed the four hours.
Charging stops if the battery temperature is greater than 40
°
C but begins charging again
when the battery temperature is less than 40
°
C.
To Charge Batteries
1. Supply power and turn the power switch on.
2. Insert batteries into the appropriate slots.
The Status LED for each slot turns orange to indicate that the battery is properly seated and has
begun a charge cycle.
3. When the Status LED turns green, the battery in the slot has completed charging.
Recommendations for Storing Batteries
To maintain top performance from batteries, follow these storage guidelines:
• Avoid storing batteries outside of the specified temperature range of -4 to 122° F (-20 to 50°C) or in
extremely high humidity.
• For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in a charger that is connected to a power source.
