4 Maintaining the AutoPulse System
4.1 Charging Batteries in the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry
Battery Charger
The AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger can charge and maintain both the AutoPulse Li-Ion
Battery and the AutoPulse NiMH Battery.
To charge a Battery, follow these steps:
1. Slide the Battery into an available charging bay (see Figure 4-1). Make sure that the Battery locks
into place (locking bar engaged).
Caution: Remove the protective plastic cap from the Battery Connector before attempting to
charge the Battery.
Note: For optimal charging, make sure that the Battery is at room temperature before insertion
into the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger.
Note: If a Li-Ion Battery’s internal temperature is below a nominal 41ºF (5ºC), the Battery will
fail to charge in the Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger. If a Battery is retrieved from cold
storage or extensive exposure to cold weather, allow the Battery to warm to room
temperature (may take up to three hours) before insertion into the Charger.
Note: Do not slam a Battery into the Charger because doing so may cause damage to the
Battery’s Connector.
Note: Both Batteries are mechanically keyed so that they can only be inserted in one orientation.
Do not force a Battery into a charging bay. If resistance is met, check for appropriate
orientation, and check to ensure that there are no obstructions to battery insertion.
