5.1. Battery Charging & Maintenance
Connect the battery cable plug with the charger and then plug the charger into an electrical
outlet. During the charging cycle the LED on the charger will show a blinking green light
(some charger models also have a red steady light during charging). Once the charging cycle
is complete the blinking green light or the red light will turn into a steady green light. It is
now okay to unplug the charger and battery for reuse. The charging cycle can last up to 12
hours depending on the level of discharge.
Normally the battery will hold its charge for several months, and it does not have a “memory
effect”, and therefore can be recharged at any discharge level. It is not recommended to fully
discharge the batteries, as this will shorten battery life drastically. The battery has a normal
lifespan of 150-200 charges, depending on charging frequency, storage conditions and time
and discharge history. Before storing a battery for extended periods of time you must fully
charge it. DO NOT store an empty battery or else it might become unusable. Replacement
batteries are available from your authorized Bat-Caddy dealer or directly from Bat-Caddy.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGING & MAINTENANCE
