7.  When charging is complete, remove the battery from the 

charger by pulling the push lock button and sliding the 

battery backward to unlock it from the charger (Fig. 6).

8.  Timely recharging of the battery will help prolong the 

battery's life. You must recharge the battery pack when 

you notice a drop in the equipment's power.

IMPORTANT! Never allow the battery pack to become fully 

discharged as this will cause irreversible damage to the 

battery. 

Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack

A red and green flashing indicator light on the charger base 

indicates that the battery pack temperature is outside the 

charging range. Once the pack is within the acceptable 

range, normal charging will take place and the red light will 

be continuous. Hot or cold battery packs may take longer to 

charge.
