Improper Battery Storage
Storing batteries in the gang charger for extended periods (more than a week or two) is not recommended.
Lithium-ion batteries lose capacity if they are maintained at full charge for long periods of time. See the battery
handling recommendations in
Power Self-test LEDs Don't Light Up
The charge slot LEDs will light up briefly when first applying power indicating the self-test mode. When
applying power to the unit, all the LEDs will light up. Yellow will show up in the 25% LED for each bay; green for
other LEDs. Then bay #1 will blink a binary representation of the firmware version (V09 = 1001). If the self-test
is not evident:
•
Remove all batteries, and unplug the charger.
•
Connect another device to the mains outlet to ensure there is power.
•
Remove the IEC mains power cable from the charger, and check it for damage.
•
Reconnect the mains cable in the charger and mains outlet.

Reinstall the battery, and check that it is fully seated in the slot.
•
Inspect the charge slot contacts for damage (are they bent, flattened, twisted or broken).

Try inserting a battery that you know to be working in the charger slot.
•
Reconnect the mains power cable, and check that the slot indicator flashes at power up.
