9. Do not cover the battery while charging.
10. Always place charger and battery/bike on a non-flam-
mable dry surface for charging.
11. If you notice a strange smell, vapors or smoke - unplug
charging cord immediately! Take your battery pack and

6c. CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Stabilize the bike using its support stand. Make certain
that the stand is locked in place on flat, solid, dry ground.
2. Remove the battery pack as described in section 6h and
place the battery pack on its back (figure 28, A) in the
charging area described in section 6b.
7. Plug the wall cord into the charger (figure 28D & 29C),
and then plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
8. Turn the charger
switch to I (ON) (figure 29, A). The red
LED, The green / yellow or orange LED and the cooling
fan (figure 29D, E & F) will turn on.
CAUTION: The charger fan should always be on when
the yellow/orange LED is on to prevent the charger from
overheating. If the cooling fan does not operate within
10 seconds after it is turned on, immediately turn the
charger off and unplug the cord from the electrical
socket. Contact your MERIDA dealer for service.
NOTE:
When the yellow LED turns to green (after
approximately 2.5 hours / NiMH or 4 hours / LA for an
empty battery), the battery charge level is about
90%. Continuing to trickle charge the battery for (4.5
hours / NiMH or 6 hours / LA) will increase the charge
level to 100%. Do not charge the battery for more than
10 hours.
9. Once the battery is fully charged, turn the charger switch
to O (OFF), and disconnect the charger cords from the
electrical socket and the battery pack.
10. Install the battery into the PowerCycle™ as described
in section 6h.
6d. CHARGER LED’s
The two LED’s (figure 29, D … E) on the end of the charger
provide important information.
1. The Power LED (D) provides information about the
charger. It glows RED when the charger is turned ON.
This LED indicates that the charger is powered up and
ready to charge your battery.
2. The Charge LED (E) provides information about the bat-
tery. This light will change color as the batteries charge
condition changes.
• YELLOW (NiMH) / ORANGE (LA) - the battery is charging.
