After the first (6-hour) charge, the total time to fully charge a
fully discharged battery is approximately (ML150LR™-2.5 hours)
(ML150LRS™-1.5 hours).
The charging cradle is provided with an LED that indicates battery
charge status by blinking and changing color (Fig. 11), as seen in the
accompanying chart.
Charger Mode Definitions:

up to 6 hours (maximum charge time for a deeply discharged battery).
Typical charge time is (ML150LR™-2.5 hours) (ML150LRS™-1.5
hours).
• Top Off/Maintenance:

and will be slow charged to top off
• Idle:
