4.1 Charging the Power System Battery
For more information on the AutoPulse Power System and its components, refer to the AutoPulse Power
System User Guide.
To charge a Battery, follow these steps:
1. Slide the Battery into an available charging bay (see Figure 4-1). Make sure that the Battery locks
into place (locking bar engaged).
Caution: Remove the protective plastic cap from the Battery before attempting to charge the
Battery.
Note: For optimal charging, make sure that the Battery is at room temperature before insertion
into the Battery Charger.
Note: Do not slam the Battery into the Battery Charger because doing so may cause damage to
the Battery’s connector.
Note: The Battery is mechanically keyed so that it can only be inserted in one orientation. Do
not force the Battery into the charging bay. If resistance is met, check for appropriate
orientation, and check to ensure that there are no obstructions to Battery insertion.
