The trickle charger provides a continual charge of 100 mA, this is sufficient to keep batteries charged in applications where the tool is continually
being connected/disconnected from the charger and avoids overheating. Continual trickle charging does shorten the battery life.

The inductive charger and cradle (used with the inductive battery pack only) charges the batteries when the tool is placed in the cradle. The inductive
charger is powered from a 5Vdc power block. One power block can power up to 4 chargers.
There are two indication lights: green: power connected to cradle, blue: charging.
If the tool is not placed correctly into the cradle charging will not take place.
When using the inductive charger ensure the following:
•
Only use the chargers for the purpose intended as described in this manual. Do not use with devices that are not approved by
Solartron.
•
Do not operate if the equipment has been damaged
•
Do not use on heated surfaces or in ambient temperatures greater than 30 degC. (86 degF.)
•
Do not insert metallic objects inside the cradle of the inductive charger unit.
