9.2 Charger Base
The charger base contains two wells, A and B, which recharge the battery pack in the Bili Chek® and a spare battery pack,
respectively. The two small lights on the front of the charger base (Battery Status Indicators or BSI) indicate the operation
of the battery charger and battery charge status.
THE CHARGER BASE
•
The Bili Chek is placed in the left hand well “A” with the display window facing the operator.
•
The spare battery pack is placed in the right hand well “B” with the latch up and facing the operator.
CAUTION: The Bili Chek unit will not fit in well “B” of the charger base. The battery pack
can fit into well “A”, but may not make correct connection to the charger base.
•
In order to maintain optimal battery performance and battery life, the battery packs should periodically be fully
drained of power. The charger base has the ability to manually drain the battery by using the “Charge/Deep
Discharge” switch located on the bottom of the charger base. It is recommended by the manufacturer to discharge
each battery pack every month. To drain a battery pack of power, place the Deep Discharge switch in the
“right” (
) position and place the Bili Chek battery pack in well B of the charger base. The discharge/recharge
cycle will take approximately 4.6 to 9.2 hours depending on the amount of charge in the battery pack. The green
light will illuminate when the battery pack has completely discharged and recharged. After both battery packs have
been discharged and recharged, place the Deep Discharge switch in the “left” position ( ).
NOTE: Only the battery pack in Well B will be deep discharged and recharged.
CAUTION: Leaving the Deep Discharge switch in the “right” position at all times will drain
the battery pack before every recharge. This will increase the duration of the
recharging cycle and may reduce the overall life of the battery packs.
NOTE: If a battery pack is moved or bumped during the deep discharge cycle this may cause the deep
discharge cycle to begin again.
