• Do not operate the lamp immediately after the charging
discharge the cells before charging.
We regard this as being more harmful for underwater lamps
with between 5 and 20 cells. The constant discharge down to
the cut-off voltage limit can overload individual cells and
disrupt the balance within the matched cell pack. This may
result in an individual cell " dropping out" .
We recommend that for every 10 to 20 cycles where the cells
are partially discharged, that the lamp is fully discharged
until the built in discharge protection turns the lamp off. The
more often the cells are taken to their minimum
capacity, the higher the strain on the individual cells.
For the charging procedure you will need a clean working
area with be a mains socket nearby. Charge the cells in an
environment which is as dry and clean as possible, with a
resistant work surface. (Sealed cells can also leak under
poor conditions). The ambient temperature should not
exceed 45°C (110°F). The power pack must be removed for
charging. (See Page 6).
Stand the power pack in an upright position with the reflector
down. This will avoid the collection of dirt and/or dust on the
reflector and halogen bulb. The charging socket is located at
the rear of the power pack.
Check the compatibility of the charger with the power pack,
(see following table).
First insert the charging cable plug into the charging socket
in the power pack. Do not use overdue force when fitting the
plug into the socket. Avoid any chance of short circuiting the
contacts of the plug or the power pack.
check the voltage selector located on the lower side of
the charger for the correct mains voltage. (115 / 230v)
The charger can be plugged into the mains. The charger will
indicate a charging process by illuminating a red diode lamp.

The above times are for fully discharged cells. Partly
discharged cells will however not be damaged during the
above charging times.
The charge is completed when the cells warm up. The
excess energy will then be converted into heat and dissipated
into the environment.

in the direction of other persons.
