Explorer XT3 can be charged through the following methods:
Mains Supply
- Plug the power cord to a 100 V to 240 V AC mains outlet. (see
Installation )
- Except for the initial charging, Explorer XT3 should be fully charged after 6 to 9 hours.
- When the
green Charging LED indicator stopped blinking (LED stays on), the battery is fully
charged.
14V DC Outlet
- Plug Explorer XT3 to a 14 V DC outlet. A car cigarette lighter socket would be an example. Use
the appropriate adapter.
- Note that Explorer XT3 can not be fully charged when this method is used.
Tip: You can leave Explorer XT3 plugged in even after it is fully charged. Explorer XT3 uses trickle
charging method. If the cord is still plugged after the battery reached full charge, the battery will
not be damaged in any way. Trickle charging also maintains the battery's optimum life span.
