After the battery charger power is connected, the red status lamps next to each
of the battery wells will illuminate to indicate the battery charger is functioning
properly and is ready to receive the discharged batteries. The discharged
batteries may now be inserted into the battery wells. Check alignment of battery
terminals with battery charger clips and adjust battery position as necessary
while pushing the battery into place (See Figure 5).

Battery to Charger Insertion/Removal
The status lamp nearest the inserted battery should now go out indicating that
the battery is charging.
When the lamp illuminates, the battery has been charged to at least 80% of its
capacity. This takes about 4 hours to charge a fully discharged battery. An
additional 2 hours of charging is required to reach full capacity. The battery
may be left on charge as long as desired without harm to the battery.
After the battery is fully charged, remove it by gripping firmly and lifting the
terminal end upward. The battery should slide clear of the battery terminal clips
and be easily removed from the enclosure.
