BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM
Features
•
Gold plated contacts
ensure clean, positive
contact between battery and charger.
•
LED status light
indicate charging process
The Battery Charger
One battery charger is designed for 115/230 VAC and
another charger is designed for 12/24 VDC. Both
chargers function the same.
The charger electronics checks the capacity of the
battery until the battery is fully charged. The maximum
charging time is six hours. When the battery is fully
charged, the green charge LED begins to flash. Leave
the battery in the charger until needed to ensure it is
fully-charged.
If the power supply to the charger is interrupted, or the
battery is removed and then reinserted into the charger
(before the battery was fully charged), the charger
detects how much charge the battery has left and
resumes the charging process.
