Connect the battery charger to the power 
supply and the green light will illuminate. 
Then, put the charger base on battery pack 
to make connections and the light will turn 
to orange to show charging has started. 
A discharged battery at normal ambient 
temperature will take approximately 3-5 
hours to reach full charge. When charging is 
complete, unplug the charger and remove 
the battery pack.

WARNING: 

When battery charge runs 

out after continuous use or exposure 

to direct sunlight or heat, allow time for the 
battery to cool down before re-charging to 
achieve the full charge.

Note:

 The charger will not automatically 

switch off when the battery is fully charged, 
and the red light indicator will remain 
on. Do not leave your battery on charge 
continuously. This may damage the battery 
cells. If the battery pack is very hot you must 
allow it to cool first to ambient temperature 
and then recharging can be started. If you 
charge a second battery pack immediately 
after the first one, then the charger adapter 
can be overheated. Always allow at least 15 
minutes rest between battery pack charging.
