Always fully charge your battery before its first use. Batteries are shipped only partially charged
and must be fully charged to achieve the proper run time. Take this time to familiarize
yourself with our smart charger and what the status indictor LEDs mean.
Note: All of our Li-ion chargers are ONLY compatible with Light & Motion batteries.
The battery may be left on the Mini-L charger indefinitely, without harming the battery.
Note: We only use smart chargers. That means you can leave the battery on the
charger after it is done charging, with no harm to the battery. To maintain optimum
battery performance, please take the battery off the charger after it is done charging.
For long term storage, we recommend storing your Lithium-ion battery with a 40-
60% charge. Every three months, run the battery down using the light head and
then charge it back up to 40-60% charge. Then fully charge the battery before you ride.
An acceptable alternate method of extended storage is giving the battery a top-up
charge once a month.
Charge your battery immediately after a ride, remove it from the charger for storage, and
then top it up the day of your next ride.
Charging
Charging with the Mini-L charger
1. Plug the charger body into a wall socket
2. Attach the battery to the Mini-L charger by aligning
the colored arrow on the plug from the charger with the
orientation indicator on the battery (red or silver dot),
inserting the plug into the battery’s socket (fig 7).
3. A red LED will illuminate, indicating the battery is
receiving a charge.
4. When the indicator LED turns green your battery is
fully charged.
A quick flash (0.1 seconds every second) indicates the battery has very low voltage, and the
charger is attempting to recondition the battery for charging.
A slow blink (0.5 seconds every 4 seconds) indicates a defective battery, and you should con-
tact the Light & Motion service department. If no indicator light comes on, make sure the
connector is fully seated. We have the most water-resistant connector in the industry, which
requires a firm insertion to burp the trapped air and complete the sealed connection.
If the LED on the charger still does not illuminate, the charger does not recognize the
attached battery as valid for charging (older NiMH batteries).
The Mini-L Charger will charge a fully depleted 2 or 3 cell battery in about 6 hours.
