The integral charger will correctly charge the battery belt in 12 - 14 hours to
full capacity from a fully discharged state.
No damage or gain will result if the belt is left on charge using the integral
charger for an extended period beyond which the battery has become fully
charged.

FAST CHARGING.
PAG offers a range of sophisticated microcomputer-controlled two wire fast-
chargers which will safely charge Pagbelts and extend their working life.
Not all fast-chargers provide the close monitoring of the PAG ACS fast-charge
process which is essential to ensure safety and to maintain the life of the
battery. The PAG range of fast-chargers incorporate PAG ACS, a unique
microcomputer-control that enables these chargers to fast-charge safely any
reputable make of Nickel-Cadmium battery pack.
READ CHARGER HANDBOOK BEFORE USE.
Ensure that no equipment is connected to the output connectors during the
charging process, and ensure that the ODP cut-out is reset by pressing the
reset button.
Connect the charging lead from the charger to an output connector (XLR-4) on
the Pagbelt using an adaptor lead if necessary. PAG microcomputer-controlled
fast-chargers will automatically terminate the charging process when the
battery is fully charged. For typical charging times and full operating
instructions refer to the charger handbook.
Pagbelt IC2 only:
Do not connect the integral charger to the mains supply
while the battery is being charged by means of an external charger.
4.1
When used correctly, Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries are a rugged,
safe, clean and trouble-free method of storing power. The cells offer high
energy densities and do not deteriorate when left in a discharged state,
making them ideally suited to applications where reliable portable power is
required.
However, the user should be aware that incorrect use can present a hazard. In
the interest of safety and the protection of our environment, please read and
observe the following health and safety information.
