Caution:
Use only constant current battery charger.
Do not use constant voltage battery
charger.
l
If the battery charger has multiple battery
charging facility (0.25A/0.5A/0.9A), then select
the output current according to the battery

Charging procedure
l
Remove the filler cover strip of battery and
connect the positive lead of the battery charger
(red colour) to the positive terminal (+) of the
