BATTERY & CHARGER
CHARGING PROCEDURE
The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended
to fully charge before first use to ensure that maximum
run time can be achieved. This lithium-ion battery will not
develop a memory and may be charged at any time.
If the battery has been stored with little to no charge for a
long period of time, the charger will go into recovery mode,
which will take 20 hrs to fully charge the battery. This will
enhance the life of the battery. Once it is fully charged, the
next charge will return to standard charging.
For best results, the battery should be charged in a location
with a temperature between 43°F and 104°F.
1. Plug the charger into an AC power outlet.
2. Insert the battery into the charger.
3. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger
and remove the battery.
This is a diagnostic charger. The Charger LED Lights (See
Figure 3) will illuminate in specific order to communicate
the current battery status. They are as follows:
Fully Charging

LED STATUS
Solid Green
Blinking Green
Solid Red
Blinking Red

BATTERY & CHARGER
Make sure the battery is fully inserted into the charger
before charging.
The battery will become slightly warm to the touch while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Charging Fault:
When the battery is inserted into the charger and the status
LED blinks RED, remove the battery from the charger for 1
minute, then reinsert. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then
the battery is properly charging. If the status LED is still
blinking RED, remove the battery and unplug the charger
for 1 minute. After 1 minute, plug in the charger and reinsert
the battery. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then the
battery is properly charging. If the status LED is still blinking
RED, the battery is defective and needs to be replaced.
Over Temperature:
If the battery is inserted into the charger when warm or
hot, the CHARGING LED indicator light on the charger
may switch on and illuminate RED. If this occurs allow the
battery to cool inside of the charger for up to 30 minutes.
Charging should automatically start once battery has
cooled.
