  2. Connect the dock to the next dock in the same way (step 2).
  3. Plug the hub into the power supply (step 3). The hub status indicator and dock status indicator will glow green, indicating that the hub and the dock are working properly and can charge the battery packs.
  4. Align the raised ribs of a battery pack with the mounting slots in one of the dock’s battery bay. Slide the battery pack down into the battery bay (step 4). The battery release button will spring up indicating that the battery pack is securely attached.
  5. The hub will communicate with the battery pack installed on the dock to evaluate the condition of the battery pack. When the battery pack meets the charging conditions, the hub will begin charging the battery pack and the hub status indicator and the battery-bay status indicator (above the inserted battery pack) will flash green.
  6. Insert more battery packs on the docks.
  7. When connecting more docks to the hub, the hub will supply power to the docks in the order of proximity – the dock nearest to the hub is powered first. The flashing green battery-bay status helps identify which battery is currently charging.
  8. When the battery packs are fully charged, the hubstatus indicator and the battery-bay status indicators will glow solid green. The “fuel gauges” on the battery packs will go out. It is recommended to disconnect the hub from the power supply, if it is not going to be used for a long period of time.

NOTE

  • A significantly reduced run time after fully charging a battery pack indicates that the battery pack is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.
  • The hub, dock and power bank may get warm during charging. This is part of the normal operation. Charge in a well-ventilated area.

NOTE: For the charging sequence of the battery packs in the same dock/power bank, refer to the operator’s manuals of EGO Dock PGX3000D and EGO Power bank PGX1400PB.
