1.5.11 Battery Charger The battery charger controls the current to the battery pack to charge batteries
when necessary. The necessity for a charge cycle is usually determined each time
the AC power is applied or the battery pack is inserted and connected to the
system. The battery pack in the MIL-BOOK 1000 can be charged during both the
power ”On” and “Off” stages. Two charge mode are provided when the AC
power adapter is connected to the system. When the power is “Off”, a fast charge
mode is activated with a constant current for the primary battery pack. The charge
time for the primary battery pack is about 3.5 ~ 4 hours. When the power is “On”,
an alternate charge mode is activated for the primary battery pack with fluctuating
current according to the system load. The alternative charge time for the primary
battery pack is about 5.5 ~ 6.5 hours. As for the auxiliary battery pack, the charge
current is 1.4 ~ 1.6A and the charge time is about 3 ~ 4 hours whether the power
is “On” and “Off”.
1.5.12 CHARGE LED Indicator Status 1. When you insert the battery pack into the system and the AC power adapter is
already connected, the CHARGE LED (Orange) flashes three seconds or more
and then stays “On” during the charge period.
2. When no battery pack is installed or the AC power adapter is not connected,
the orange CHARGE LED remains is “Off”.
