Charging the battery.

The battery pack becomes the charger when you connect the AC/DC wall
adapter included in the package.

Before using the battery for the first time, it must be charged

for a minimum of three hours.

The red charge indicator light will turn on indicating the
charging circuit is working.

being replaced in the battery cells.  You may notice the pack
becomes warm during this process, this is normal.
