Important
-
Always charge new batteries completely before initial use. Recycle batteries when they can no longer be used. Do not discard unwanted batteries in the trash or incinerate them.
Batteries exposed to fire or excessive heat may explode. -
For best battery performance, charge NiCd and NiMH batteries when they are fully discharged.
-
Use chargers in areas protected from the weather. Do not expose the charger to rain, any liquids, or excessive moisture.
-
Make sure the contacts in the charging pod and on the battery are clean. Do not allow wire or metal objects to touch contacts in the charging pod or any internal part of the charger.
-
Do not remove the charger’s housing or make any modifications to the charger.
-
Use only the power supply provided with the EC-KSC model. If a replacement is required, order TWC1-PS.
Charging A Battery
- Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet with the power supply provided.
- Place the battery to be charged in the charger. The battery may also be charged while attached to the radio.
- When a battery is placed in the charger and while charging, the status LED will illuminate RED with no flashing to indicate normal charging. If the status LED is red and flashes, a fault has been detected.
- When the battery is charged to 90% of capacity, the status LED will change to GREEN and begin to flash. The status LED will illuminate GREEN with no flashing when the battery is fully charged.
- When a battery is removed from the charger, wait for the status LED to go off before inserting another battery.
- Charge batteries when they are between 0°C and 45°C (32° F – 113° F). Do not charge a battery when it is frozen (below 0°C / 32° F) or when it is excessively warm to the touch (45°C / 113° F or above). Charging automatically terminates if the battery temperature reaches 45°C while charging.
Fault Conditions
When the status LED flashes RED, a fault condition exists. The fault conditions are as follows:
- The battery has a short circuit. This warning is provided after the pre-charge stage is completed. Remove the battery from the charger and recycle it.
- The battery is undercharged. This warning is provided after the rapid charge stage is completed and indicates the battery is nearing or at end of its life.
