Page 15: Charging The Battery
Refer to section "Charging modes" for more information. Set the charging sequence The GKL221 charger can charge two batteries simultaneously. When more than one battery is connected to the charger, the one connected first is charged first. Always connect the more urgently needed battery first. - Page 16 For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery capacity available.
