Charging the Battery

As soon as the battery is properly mounted, charging begins as indicated by the steady red light on the Charge Status indicator.(Fig. 1 below) When charging is complete, the green Full Status indicator will turn on (fig. 2). At this point, the battery can be removed for use. Removing the battery at this point will not harm it. It is recommended that you leave the battery connected tot he charger for another 30 minutes to ensure a full or “topped off” charge

Discharging the Battery

To maximize the full power of your NiCad and NiMH batteries, we recommend discharging before recharging. To discharge, mount the battery on the tray and press the Discharge button. (Fig. 3 above). The yellow Discharge Status indicator will turn on. When discharging is complete, the battery will automatically begin to recharge and the red Charge Status indicator will turn on (Fig. 1). Depending on the amount of charge left in the battery, this may take several hours. Note: Lith-ion batteries do not require discharging.
