the charger will be red when the charger is in a charging mode. The LED indicator light 

on the charger will turn green when the charger switches to a trickle charge. The 7.2 

amp hour, 12-volt battery that was supplied with the VS825c system should take about 

8 to 10 hours to charge from a completely discharged state. 

When the green LED light is on, disconnect the charger from the battery and wall 

outlet. If the green LED light does not come on after 10 to 12 hours of charging time or 

the green LED light comes on relatively soon after the charger is plugged in, this may 

indicate that the battery will not accept a full charge. If this occurs and your camera run 

time is greatly diminished, you may want to replace the battery with a battery of equal 

specification.  

If your viewing image appears cloudy, fuzzy or the screen begins to shrink, check your 

battery charge. One of the major symptoms of a dead or near-dead battery is the 

degradation of your viewing image. Try charging your battery or if the battery is unable 

to hold a charge, replace it with a new one of similar specification. If you need to 

remove the battery, unplug the two battery terminals from the battery. Remove the 

Velcro strap that is holding the battery in place and lift the battery out. To replace the 

battery, place a new battery into the battery compartment and secure it with the Velcro 

strap and re-connect the positive and negative terminals. 

Tip: To preserve battery run time, try to keep the VS825c in a relatively warm 

environment to minimize the use of the built in LCD heater system. By starting out with 

a warm monitor, there is less power consumed and less warm up time required.
