How to Charge the Battery Pack
Align the battery pack with the bay and slide the
battery pack into the charger as far as possible.
The red light will come on, either flashing quickly
(battery pack is too hot or cold), flashing slowly
(battery pack is waiting for another pack to finish
charging) or continuous (pack is charging).
• A fully discharged battery pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will charge in
about 30 to 75 minutes, depending on the battery
pack.
• The Fuel Gauge lights on 18V battery packs are
displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating
how fully charged the pack is. The fuel gauge will
turn off when charging is complete.
• After charging is complete, the continuous green
light will come on.
• The charger will keep the battery pack fully
charged if it is left on the charger.
• The second pack inserted in the charger will be-
gin charging when the first pack inserted is fully
charged.
• If the light indicator flashes red and green, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay.
Remove the battery pack and reinsert. If the light
continues to flash red and green, remove pack(s)
and unplug charger for at least 2 minutes. After 2
minutes, plug charger back in and insert pack. If
the problem persists, contact an ALBION service
facility.
• If the light indicator does not come on, check
that the battery pack is fully seated into the bay.
Remove the battery pack and reinsert. If the light
indicator still does not come on, remove pack(s)
and unplug charger for at least 2 minutes. After
2 minutes, plug charger back in and insert pack.
If after these attempts the light indicator still does
not come on, contact an ALBION service facility.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
The Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger
indicates that the battery pack temperature is out-
side the charging range. Once the battery pack is
within the acceptable range, normal charging will
take place and the red light will be continuous. Hot
or cold batteries may take longer to charge.

Maintenance and Storage
