Charging Batteries

Due to shipping, batteries charge states will vary. It is recommended that you charge your batteries when they are received.

1)The charger can accept an electrical range of 100 - 240v and 50 - 60hz.

2)The charger has two LED lights, one green and one yellow. Green LED illuminates when charger is receiving power.

Yellow LED is illuminated when charging and blinking when charge is complete.

3)To attach charger to battery, align arrow on charger connector with arrow on battery label and push together until connectors seat. (ref. fig. 17)

Installing Batteries

1)Slide the battery back into the pod with the contact end inserted first so that the connector will align with the socket inside the pod. (ref. fig. 18)

2)Servicing the o-rings (See o-ring maintenance).

3)Replace the front cap onto the pod.

Make sure the battery is rotated completely out of the way so that when replaced onto the pod, it does not contact the sealing surface.

Insure that the removal strap attached to the battery does not interfere with the seal when the end cap is attached to the pod

4)Turn the knob on the end cap clockwise 1/8 turn until it stops. The endcap will now be locked into place. The endcaps are specific to the left and right

pods.
