HeartMate Universal Battery Charger IFU 15
3.2 Charging Batteries (Procedure)
Follow these instructions for charging HeartMate 12 volt NiMH batteries
and 14 volt Li-Ion batteries:
1
Obtain one or more HeartMate 12 volt NiMH or 14 volt Li-Ion
batteries.
2
Place one of the HeartMate batteries into one of the four battery
charging pockets, with the battery fuel gauge
on the top and facing
forward (
Figure 12
).
Note
: Do not force a battery into a charging
pocket. Batteries will fit only one way into a pocket (with the
battery’s battery fuel gauge at the top and facing forward as shown
in
Figure 12
). A beep and one of the pocket lights coming on (red,
yellow, or green) confirms the battery is properly placed in the
pocket.
3
After hearing the beep, look at the three lights (yellow, green, and
red) next to the number button for this pocket (
Figure 13
).
Note
:
The UBC has four charging pockets. Numbers 1 – 4 on the front
panel of the charger correspond to the location of each pocket. For
example, “1” on the panel stands for the front left pocket; “2”
stands for the front right pocket; “3” stands for the rear left; and
“4” stands for the rear right pocket.
CAUTION!
•
Do not attempt to test or charge non-HeartMate batteries in the
HeartMate Universal Battery Charger (UBC). Doing so may
damage the charger or the batteries, or injure the user.
•
Do not attempt to test or charge the black sealed lead acid (SLA)
HeartMate batteries originally used with the HeartMate Power Base
Unit (PBU) (catalog #2025). Doing so may damage the charger or
the batteries, or injure the user.
