Charger LED Modes
Charging:
Green LED Intermittent
Fully Charged:
Green LED Solid
Hot/Cold Pack Delay:
Green LED Intermittent
Red LED Solid
Note: The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty
battery pack. The charger will indicate a faulty battery pack by
refusing to light.
Note: This could also mean a problem with a charger. If the
charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery
pack to be tested at an authorized service centre.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or too cold,
it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, the green LED
(18a) will flash intermittently, while the red LED (18b) will
remain on continuously, suspending charging until the battery
has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This
feature ensures maximum battery life.
