assembly by connecting the black connector to the black connector on the end of the
charger cable. Connect the other end of the cable assembly to the battery.
NOTE: See Replacement Parts for more connector information.
NOTE: Never connect the output cable assemblies together for use in other
applications, such as external battery or other power source charging, or to extend the
output cable length, as reverse polarity and/or overcharge conditions will occur.
Quick Charge
When the CHARGED
LED begins to flash, the battery is “Ready To Use”. Unplug
the charger from the wall outlet and then disconnect the charger from the battery. NOTE:
The CHARGING
LED will remain lit while the CHARGED
LED is flashing.
Complete Charge
When the CHARGED
LED stops flashing and stays lit and the CHARGING
LED turns off, the battery is completely charged and the charger has stopped charging
and switched to the Maintain Mode of operation. When ready to use, unplug the charger
from the wall outlet and then disconnect the charger from the battery.
NOTE: For longer battery life, the battery must be completely charged after two
consecutive quick charges. (Example: quick-quick-complete.)
Aborted Charge
If charging can not be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger’s output is shut off, and the CHARGING
LED will blink. To reset after
an aborted charge, unplug the charger from the AC outlet, wait a few moments and plug
it back in.
