Charging a Rechargeable
Battery Pack
After you mount/connect the battery
pack to the conditioner/charger,
place the temperature sensor on the
battery, and connect the conditioner/
charger to power, the following se-
quence occurs automatically.
1. The conditioner/charger sounds
one long beep to verify power is
on.
Note: The beep sounds continu-
ously if you install a battery pack
with the wrong polarity or if the
output terminals are shorted.
• If this happens with a 6V or
7.2V battery pack, set the
polarity switch to the other
position.
When you change the polarity
switch position with power on,
the conditioner/charger beeps
once and the green CHARGE
indicator lights.
• If this happens with a 9.6V or
12V battery pack, you must
remove and properly reinstall
the battery pack.
2. The auto sensor checks the bat-
tery pack voltage and the red
CHARGE indicator flashes a
specific number of times that
corresponds to the battery
pack’s maximum voltage.
Note: This indication is accu-
rate only when there is a good
connection between the charger
and the battery pack. If the bat-
tery pack is not properly
mounted, the battery’s voltage
might not be correctly identified.
