Charging Batteries
•
Install the battery with the battery contacts facing the charger. Slide the battery between
the guide rails until it lightly latches in place.
The 4-LED bar for the battery bay shows 25% charger per LED. A flashing green LED
shows charging is under way. The LED directly below the slot in which a battery is inserted
lights up immediately. If the battery temperature is outside 5°C to 39°C (41°F to 102°F), the
LED flashes yellow until the temperature is acceptable. A fully discharged battery will nor-
mally take from 3 to 4 hours to charge. At full capacity, it turns solid green.
When the battery is fully charged, the charger stops applying power; the battery cannot be
overcharged if left in the charger slot.

Troubleshooting
6.8.5.1 Improper Battery Storage
Storing batteries in the gang charger for extended periods (more than a week or two) is not
recommended. Lithium-ion batteries lose capacity if they are maintained at full charge for
long periods of time. See the battery handling recommendations in “The Battery” on
page 14.

•
Connect another device to the mains outlet to ensure there is power.
