3.4 Battery Discharge
The CH0003 allows the operator to discharge batteries. During the discharge function the top heat
sink surface of the charger will become warm. This is normal operation. During discharge operation
locate the CH0003 in a well-ventilated area and ensure no flammable materials are near the unit.
3.5 Start-up
The CH0003 automatically determines the battery type connected. The operator can either plug the
CH0003 into a power source or attach the batteries to the unit first. Once the batteries are attached
and power applied to the unit, the batteries automatically start charging.
3.6
LED Indicators
There are four groups of LEDs indicating the status of the charger. Refer to Figures 3 and 4 on the
next page and the paragraphs that follow.
