RICE LAKE IS6V2 Battery Charger
Product Information
The IS6V2 battery charger is an encased power adapter that provides charging power at 7.35 V and 2 amps while charging and 7.0 V once the battery is fully charged. It features two LEDs that indicate AC power status and charge trip point. The charger has a dual mode (charge/float) to provide rapid battery charging while preventing overcharging. It is also designed to optimize battery life by maintaining the float voltage of 7.0 V to prevent battery discharge during normal AC operation.

Product Usage Instructions
- Disconnect the 882IS battery pack cable from the 882IS indicator.
- Remove the battery pack from the indicator tilt stand and take it to a non-hazardous area.
- Remove the lockout device and battery cable from the battery.
- Plug the connector from the battery charger into the connector on the battery pack.
- Connect the charger power cord to a properly grounded outlet supplying the correct input voltage.
- Charge the battery. Note that it will take a minimum of 12 hours to charge a dead battery.
- The charger LED switches from a blue color to a green color when the unit reaches approximately 70% charged. At that time, the charger switches over to a float charge mode.
- The battery is considered fully charged when the charger LED is flashing green.
- To keep the battery at full capacity, it is recommended to leave the battery connected to the charger in float charge mode until ready to use. The battery can remain on the charger in float charge mode indefinitely without damaging it.

IMPORTANT: Connections to the battery pack must be made in a non- hazardous area before connecting the cable to the 882IS indicator.
Introduction
The IS6V2 battery charger is an encased power adapter that provides charging power at 7.35 V and 2 amps while charging and 7.0 V once the battery is fully charged.
Two LEDs indicate AC power status and charge trip point.
Table 1. LED Descriptions
| LED | LED Color | LED Description |
|---|---|---|
| Power LED | Green | States the charger has power from an AC source and is |
continually on
Charger LED (Multi-State LED)| Blue| Charging status: Charging
Green| Charging Status: Float Charging
Green (Flashing)| Charging Status: Full Charge
The dual mode (charge/float) provides rapid battery charging while preventing hazardous overcharging. In addition, the charger is ideal for optimizing battery life as it will maintain a float voltage of 7.0 V to prevent battery discharge during normal AC operation.
Battery Charging and Operation
CAUTION: Re-charge batteries in a non-hazardous location.
- Disconnect the 882IS battery pack cable from the 882IS indicator.
- Remove the battery pack from the indicator tilt stand and take to a non-hazardous area.
- Remove the lockout device and battery cable from the battery.
- Plug the connector from the battery charger into the connector on the battery pack.
- Connect the charger power cord to a properly grounded outlet supplying the correct input voltage.
- Charge the battery.
NOTE:
-
It will take a minimum of 12 hours to charge a dead battery.
The charger LED switches from a blue color to a green color when the unit reaches approximately 70% charged. At that time,the charger switches over to a float charge mode. The battery is considered fully charged when the charger LED is flashing green. -
To keep the battery at full capacity, it is recommended to leave the battery connected to the charger, in float charge mode, until ready to use. The battery can remain on the charger in float charge mode indefinitely without damaging the battery. For more information on the IS6V2 Battery, see PN 194893.
