Mini Battery
Charger
Site~Rite IV Battery Packs are fully charged prior to shipment, but may require charging before use.
To charge a battery pack with the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger,
1. Plug the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger into a power outlet.
2. Verify that the LED indicator on the front of the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger is
not illuminated.
3. Attach the battery pack to the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger. The battery packs attach to the
Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger by inserting the molded battery charger connector into the
matching connector of the battery pack.
•
Hold the battery pack with the plug port visible.
• Place the molded battery connector of the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger into
the plug port.
• The molded battery connector will lock into the battery pack port.
• Gently tug on the pack to verify that it is securely connected to the Site~Rite
Mini Battery Charger.
4. The LED indicator will flash green to indicate that the charger is in Rapid Charge.
After approximately 3 hours, the LED indicator will glow solid green to indicate
charge complete.
Following Rapid Charge the battery charger will continue to provide a trickle/top-off charge for
4 hours. The battery charger will then provide maintenance charge to the battery for
a 10 hour period.
Note: When placing a cold battery in a warm room to charge, the rapid temperature change of the
battery occasionally causes the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger to switch from the Rapid Charge
mode to Pending Charge mode (within a few minutes of turning on). If this occurs, remove the
Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger from the AC power and remove the battery from the molder bat-
tery charger connector; and wait a few moments before reconnecting the Site~Rite Mini Battery
Charger to AC power and the battery to the molded battery charger connector.
To remove a battery pack from Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger,
1. Press down on the molder battery charger connector spring lock, and gently pull the battery
pack off of the connector.
You can remove the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger from AC power and remove the battery for use
when the Rapid Charge indicator glows solid green. At the end of the Rapid Charge cycle, the battery is
approximately 85% charged. The Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger then switches to the Pending Charge
mode to continue the charging process while preventing the battery from overheating. Using a partially
charged battery does not create battery memory or reduce the life of the battery.
No harm occurs if you leave the battery on the Site~Rite Mini Battery Charger after it is fully charged.
