Charging the Battery Pack
(Excluding GasAlert Extreme and GasAlertClip Extreme)
a Warning
A maximum of six charging docking modules can be
installed on a MicroDock ll station. Four non-charging
modules can be added to the six charging modules for
the maximum total of ten docking modules per station.
To charge successfully, the temperature must be
between 50°F to 95°F (10°C to 35°C). Charge the
battery when the detector emits a low battery alarm.
When charging for the first time, allow the battery to obtain a
full charge (approximately 3.5 hours).
Charger/Battery Pack Guidelines
•
When charging is complete, the detector can remain in
the detector bay without wear or damage to the battery.
•
Charging the battery pack in temperatures above
86°F (30°C) greatly reduces the number of possible
charges to the battery pack.
•
When charging is complete, the battery pack may be
hot.
•
The battery pack requires approximately three charges
to achieve full charge capacity.

•
The MicroDock II only charges using dc power.
•
Charging more than four units simultaneously increases
the total charge time.
•
When charging an extremely depleted battery, the
battery requires a longer charging time.
•
The detector cannot charge during bump checks or
calibrations. If battery power is low, charge the detector
for 30 minutes and then initiate the bump/calibration.
When it is completed, resume charging the battery.
•
When a fully charged battery is inserted into the detector
bay, the charger LED lights red for
6 to 10 minutes before lighting green. This action
will not wear or damage the battery.
