Chapter 2 Installation and Operation
Introduction
The life and capacity of a Lithium Ion battery pack can vary significantly depending on the
discharge current and the environment in which it is used. As with all batteries, expect to see a
reduction in the total number of operations a fully charged battery pack can deliver as it ages.
Charging times may increase but will not exceed four hours. Battery packs do not need to be fully
discharged between charge cycles.
The analyze feature allows you to determine the current condition of the battery pack. The
capacity of the battery (in mAH) can be compared to the battery specification. Expect a battery
pack with less than 80% of its rated capacity to provide noticeably shorter operating time for your
mobile device.

Normal Operations
The optimal operating temperature range for the Multi-Charger Plus is between 50°F and 95°F
(10°C and 35°C). While charging, the charger/analyzer and battery pack will generate enough
heat to feel warm. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. Do not store the battery pack in
direct sunlight or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down. If the battery pack is hot after
removal from the computer, allow it to cool at room temperature before placing it in the charger.
Charge times may increase significantly if the battery is warm or hot, since it takes the battery
pack longer to cool down while in the charger pocket. If the battery pack is hot from severe
environmental use and immediate recharging is necessary, place the battery pack in a cool air
stream or in a cool location until it is no longer warm to the touch before charging.
Maintenance
Use a clean soft cloth to wipe any dirt, moisture or grease from the battery pack, contacts or the
charger. Do not use any liquid to clean the battery pack or charger contacts.
