Charging

This charger can charge two batteries at the same time.

One red charging light indicates charged condition in 0–80% and red and green ones indicate 80–100%. The 80% indication mentioned above is approximate value. The indication may differ according to battery temperature or battery condition.
  4.  With finish of charge, the charging lights will change from red and green ones to green one.
  5.  Charging time varies by temperature (10°C (50°F)–40°C (104°F)) that battery cartridge is charged at and conditions of the battery cartridge, such as a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time.
  6. After charging, remove the battery cartridge from charger and unplug the charger.
