2. Insert the battery into the charger.
Firmly insert the battery into the charger until the line
is visible, as shown in Fig. 3, 4 .
3. Charging
When inserting a battery in the charger, charging will
commence and the pilot lamp will light continuously
in red.
When the battery becomes fully recharged, the pilot

NOTE: When standby for cooling battery, UC18YML2 cools the overheated battery by cooling fan.
(However, the cooling fan does not function when charging the battery with a DC 12V in-car power source.)
(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in Table 2, and batteries that have become
hot should be cooled for a while before being
recharged.

(3) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and
batteries, the charging time will become as shown in
Table 3.

NOTE:
The recharging time may vary according to the
ambient temperature and power source voltage.
Especially, using a DC 12V in-car power source may
require longer recharging time at high temperatures.
CAUTION:
When the battery charger has been continuosly used,
the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting
the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been
completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.
4. Disconnect the charger's power cord from the
receptacle or cigarette lighter socket
