4.1 Charging Batteries in the Battery Charger
The Battery Charger can charge and maintain up to two Li-Ion Batteries.
To charge a Battery, follow these steps:
1. Slide the Battery into an available charging bay (see Figure 4-1). Make sure that the Battery locks
into place (locking bar engaged).
Caution: Remove the protective plastic cap from the Battery Connector before attempting to
charge the Battery.
Note: For optimal charging, make sure that the Battery is at room temperature before insertion
into the Battery Charger.
Note: If a Li-Ion Battery’s internal temperature is below a nominal 41ºF (5ºC), the Battery will
fail to charge in the Battery Charger. If a Battery is retrieved from cold storage or extensive
exposure to cold weather, allow the Battery to warm to room temperature (may take up to
three hours) before insertion into the Battery Charger.
Note: Do not slam a Battery into the Battery Charger because doing so may cause damage to the
Battery’s Connector.
Note: The Battery is mechanically keyed so that it can only be inserted in one orientation. Do
not force a Battery into a charging bay. If resistance is met, check for appropriate
orientation, and check to ensure that there are no obstructions to battery insertion.
