Charging batteries
Power on: Connect the LC10 to the Li-ion battery via the magnet at the
end of cable.
A red indicator will turn on to notify you of the battery level (please refer
to the Power Tips).
Plug the input port into a power bank, 5V solar panel or adapter to charge the
battery.
Charging tips: During charging, the red indicator will flash to indicate
charging is in progress. Upon charging completion, the charger automatically
stops charging and 3 indicators illuminate steadily.
NOTE: The battery must have magnetizable metal on its positive and negative tips.
Charging other devices
When it is not connected to a power supply, the LC10 with battery serves as
a power bank to charge USB devices.
- Connect 1 Li-ion battery first, and then plug the output port into a USB device to charge.
- During charging, the red indicator will indicate the remaining battery power.
Backup Light
When the charger is connected to a power supply or when it is being used as a power bank, a white backup light on LC10 can be accessed by tapping the sensor switch on the back of the light. Tap the sensor switch repeatedly to cycle through “Low –Medium-High-OFF-Red power indicator”.
NOTE:
- Backup light cannot be turned on when the LC10 is charging a battery.
- Backup light will turn on automatically once the battery is removed during the charging.
- When using the LC10 as a power bank to charge other devices, the white light may flicker when the battery voltage gets low. This is normal.
Power Tips
The LC10 has 3 red power indicators to notify the battery level:
- 3 indicators illuminated steadily represents the battery level is above 80%;
- 2 indicators illuminated steadily represents the battery level is about 50%-80%;
- 1 indicator illuminated steadily represents the battery level is below 50%;
- 1 flashing indicator represents the battery level is low. Please recharge the battery at this time.
