BATTERY AND CHARGER | 45
6.6 Charging process
After the battery is inserted into the charger's insertion slot, it is charged automatically
(the red LED illuminates continuously).
If the battery is too hot or too cold when it is inserted into the charger (red LED flashes)
the charging process begins automatically as soon as the battery has reached the correct
charging temperature (0°C - 65°C). The maximum charging current flows when the Li-Ion
battery temperature is between 0 and 65°C.
The charging time is between 1 min and 60 min depending on how full the battery was
previously (for 3.0 Ah). The charging time for the 5.0 Ah battery is between 1 min and 90 min.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger switches from red to green.
The battery does not have to be removed from the charger once charging is complete.
The battery can remain in the charger permanently. This cannot over-charge it and so it is
always ready for use.
If both LEDs flash alternately, either the battery is not inserted properly, or there is a fault on
the battery or the charger. For safety reasons, take the charger and the battery out of operation
immediately and have them checked by an authorised customer service location.
Flashing alternately!
If the power unit is overloaded, all LEDs flash 4x. To continue charging, unplug the power unit
and plug it back in.
Flashing simultaneously!
