Charge the battery for 24 hours initially, then monthly
(every 25 starts) or as needed. Always use the
charger in a sheltered area and charge the battery at
room temperature (22°C or 70°F) whenever possible.

Your battery charger may have a 2-color LED

display that indicates the following states of charging:

A red light indicates that the charger is charging
the battery.

A green light indicates that the charger is fully
charged or the charger is disconnected from the
battery.

A flashing light that alternates between red and
green indicates that the battery is nearly fully
charged. This state lasts only a few minutes until
the battery is fully charged.
