The BKR0303-2 is a sequentially charging, dual pocket charger. There is a primary pocket (indicated by a square symbol at the bottom of the charging pocket) and a secondary pocket (indicated by a circle symbol at the bottom of the charging pocket). The 2 pockets do not charge at the same time.
Every battery inserted into the charger is authenticated. This occurs on initial insertion into either pocket and shows as 3 Amber LED flashes.
If a single battery is inserted into either pocket, after the charger authenticates the battery, the battery will begin to be charged.
If two batteries are inserted into the pockets, the primary pocket will be charged first, and when the battery achieves the State of Charge (SOC)% > 95%, then the secondary pocket will begin charging. While the primary pocket is charging the LED indication will be solid red while charging or solid green when it reaches 95% SOC. The secondary pocket will be flashing amber while it is waiting to begin charging. This will be the case no matter if the battery in the secondary pocket is inserted before or after the battery in the primary pocket
