- Connect the battery as described in B. If all connections have been made properly and the battery is sufficiently discharged, the start of charging will be confirmed by the orange LED lighting up or by the flashing green LED light.
- When the battery is almost fully charged, the LED will return to a solid green light.
D) The green LED does not necessarily mean that the battery is charged.
E) If the battery is already charged, the green LED is already on or turns green soon after B is carried out. If the battery life is reduced the next time you use the battery, please contact Customer Service for assistance in checking the battery and battery charger operation.
