Charging
As soon as a battery pack is placed in any slot, charging begins and the Status LED illuminates.
Green Charge cycle completed and battery is ready for use.
Orange Charge cycle is progressing.
Red
Battery or charge slot encountered an error during the recent charge cycle.
Analyzing
Note:
Because the multicharger is accumulating battery pack information during the entire
Analyze cycle, it is important not to remove the battery until the cycle has been
completed.
Insert a battery into the right-most slot (the slot next to the Analyze button).
Press the Analyze button.
The Analyze cycle begins. Only the battery in the Charge/Analyze slot is analyzed.
In an Analyze cycle, batteries are completely discharged and then recharged to capacity. The
indicator LEDs display just what that capacity is at the end of the cycle. The battery is completely
reset and re-calibrated. Resetting and calibrating batteries on a regular basis can provide longer
and more consistent performance from those batteries.
The length of time it takes for a battery to run through the complete Analyze cycle varies depends
on initial state of the battery.
Minimum time is 8 hours, maximum time is 12 hours.
The Charge/Analyze slot also contains a Status LED in the upper, left corner of the slot. When
this slot is used for regular charging, this LED operates in the usual manner.
Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs
The Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs are located along the right side of the Charge/Analyze slot.
The LEDs illuminate after the completion of the Analyze cycle. Upon the completion of the final
charge, the LEDs display the measured capacity of the battery. Battery capacity is displayed as a
percentage of measured capacity/rated capacity. Each LED equates to 10% battery capacity.
Analyzer Slot Status LED
When this slot is being used to analyze a battery, the Status LED functions as follows:
Solid Green
Has completed the Analyze cycle.
Flashing Orange Is being analyzed.
Solid Red
Encountered an error during the Analyze cycle.
