Battery Charge Indicator; Important Charging Notes - Chapin 97902 Mode D'emploi

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery pack or charger.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
Chapin chargers are designed to charge Chapin battery packs in 3.5-4 hours depending on the
pack being charged.
1. Plug the charger (C-13) into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (C-12) into the charger as shown in figure A.
3. The red light on the charger is continuously on when the battery is charging.
4. The green light on the charger is continuously on when the battery is charged. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time
or left on the charger.
5. Blinking red and green lights on the charger indicates a defective battery and should properly be disposed of.

Battery Charge Indicator

When battery is disconnected from the charger, depress
green button to see the charge level. To charge see
"Charging Pocedures" in this manual.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For
longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is
recommended that the batteries be recharged after each
use.
LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the green LED glowing indefinitely.
The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F
(18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.
To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C).
4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT
CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire
with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should
be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, call 1-800-822-8837 for recycling information.
