4.1.2 How to charge the battery

Make sure the voltage and frequency and connect the DC cord of the AC/DC adapter
to the DC jack of the battery. The LED turns to green when the charging is
completed. The battery includes the protection circuit that prevents full discharge
and full charge. The supply of power stops once the protection circuit is activated. In
order to deactivate the protection circuit and resume feeding power, wait about 10
seconds and connect again the DC cord to the DC jack.
Swift KR12A can be charged during operation because the floating charging method
is applied. The battery can be also charged with 12V Cigar jack charger.
