CAUTION
Cattron MKU battery conditioners and external charging units are designed for use with Cattron Ni-
Cad battery packs only.
Battery packs must be removed or disconnected from battery conditioners/external charging units
within 48 hours of achieving the fully charged state.
Failure to comply with these CAUTIONs may result in equipment and/or battery damage and will
void our warranty.
Inserting battery into adapter and initiating charging
To charge a Ni-Cad battery pack, refer to Figure 7. Connect the Cattron battery charger to the power source by
inserting the charging jack into the external battery charging adapter socket. Drop the battery pack into the battery
charging adapter, ensuring the battery pack contacts are positioned as shown. When the Ni-Cad battery pack is
properly installed, the appropriate LED(s) on the charging unit will show the current status (refer to the appropriate
tables for the charger in use below).

7.4 Conditioning / Charger Use
The Cattron Battery Conditioner/Charger (Part # 70C-0002) is available for use with Ni-Cad battery packs only.
The conditioner/charger automatically conditions the battery pack by first discharging it at 750mA for 1.5 hours
before applying a rapid charge for 1.2 hours. The unit incorporates end-of-charge detection circuitry to accurately
sense when the battery pack is fully charged. When this condition has been detected, the conditioner/charger
switches to a ‘trickle’ charge mode that keeps the battery pack fully charged and ready to use for up to 48 hours.
To prevent damage to the battery pack, it should be removed from the conditioner/charger within 48 hours of
achieving a fully charged state.
The Cattron battery conditioner/charger incorporates an LED that indicates status as follows:
•
Amber Color
–
indicates the battery pack is being discharged.
•
Red Color
–
indicates the battery pack is being charged at a rapid rate.
•
Green Color
– indicates the battery pack is fully charged and that a ‘trickle’ charge is being applied to
maintain the fully charged state. The battery pack is ready for use and should be removed from the
conditioner within 48 hours.
