Rechargeable batteries can last years with proper care. Most
importantly, fully charge your battery:
• before the first use
• after each use
• before storing
• every 45 to 60 days when not in use.
Using the 2.5-hour Fast Charger
Note
: The charger will charge a fully depleted battery in
approximately 2.5 hours.
1. Plug the power cord into the charger and then the wall
socket. The charger will conduct a self-diagnosis and the
charging indicator light (located on the back, upper-left
corner of the charger) will illuminate green, then amber,
and then back to green.
2. Connect the charger cable to the battery. If the battery is
not fully charged, the indicator light will turn amber,
signifying fast-charge mode. If the light flashes when you
first plug in the battery, the charger is preparing an overly
discharged battery for fast charging.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light will
turn green and charging will shut off automatically.
4. Unplug the charger from the battery and wall socket,
grasping the connectors rather than the cables. (Leaving
the battery and charger connected indefinitely will not
harm the cells.)
Battery Initialization
Until the battery has been charged and discharged up to ten
times, you may experience shorter than expected run times
as well as higher than normal charger and battery
temperatures.
