the battery's normal self-discharge characteristics during storage, the fuel gauge will
occasionally turn on the charger to top-off the battery.
To charge your battery pack, plug in the wire from the transformer into the charger
base, unscrew the battery from the electronics housing and drop it onto of the charger.
Be sure the alignment pin of the charger base mates with the hole on the battery pack.
The charger will automatically begin the charge cycle.
There is an LED Charge Indicator located on the front of the battery charger. While
the battery is charging the Charge Indicator will be illuminated. After the charge cycle
is complete the Charge Indicator will turn off and all 5 LEDs on the battery fuel gauge
will be illuminated. It is normal for the Charge Indicator to flash occasionally after the
OPERATION OF YOUR FIREBALLS COMP:
The FireBalls Comp light can be operated by two different methods, the Wireless
Transmitter (See section titled "Wireless Transmitter" for more information) or direct
operation of the buttons on the electronic housing. Each method offers a very simple
two-button operation: one button turning the light on and increases brightness and the
other dims the light and turns it off. The two methods may be used interchangeably.
Note: The buttons on the Wireless Transmitter are not marked UP or DOWN.
You can choose which is up and which is down depending upon which side of the
handlebar you choose to mount them on. For more information see the section titled
"Wireless Transmitter."
To turn the light on, press the UP button (marked "+" on the electronics housing
button) once. The light will enter the 6-watt "economy mode". If you press the UP
button again it will enter 12-watt mode, the third push of the UP button will turn
on the 20-watt bulb and the fourth push will turn on both bulbs.
To dim and turn the light off: Press the DOWN button (marked "-" on the electronics
housing button). Each time you press the DOWN button the light will select the next
lower output setting. The lamp will turn off if the DOWN button is pushed while in
6-watt mode. Note: If you are using the wireless transmitter, you must hold the DOWN
button for three seconds to turn the lamp off.
When the battery is consumed to approximately 10% of the total capacity the
FireBalls Comp will begin to cut-back the light output in order to extend its run time.
For example, if you are in 32 watt mode the light will automatically switch to 20 watt
mode, then to 12 watt mode. As the capacity is reduced further the light will switch to
6 watt economy mode. Typically there will be about 15-20 minutes of burn-time
remaining once the light has entered economy mode. The light will turn itself off when
the battery capacity is fully consumed in order to avoid over-discharging the battery.
In the event one of the bulbs of your FireBalls Comp light breaks, the other bulb will
automatically light.
charge cycle is complete.
There is a temperature sensor inside the battery
pack that will disable the charger if the battery is hot.
If you place the battery on the charge when it is hot (e.g.
immediately after use or if it has been stored inside your
car on a hot day), the charger will wait for the battery
to cool and then automatically resume charging.
The Nickel Metal Hydride batteries in your FireBalls
Comp need to be "exercised" in order to achieve their
maximum capacity. Your burn times may be shorter than
normal for the first few rides. After your batteries are
charged/discharged about 5 times they will reach their
full capacity.
The time to charge a fully discharged battery is
approximately 12 hours. Your actual charge time will
vary according to the condition of your battery.
