Battery Charging

After the first (6-hour) charge, the total time to fully charge a fully

discharged battery is approximately (ML150LR™-2.5 hours)

(ML150LRS™-1.5 hours).

The charging cradle is provided with an LED that indicates

battery charge status by blinking and changing color (Fig. 11), as

seen in the accompanying chart.

Charger Mode Definitions:

• Charging: Battery charge level is below 80% and will fast

charge for up to 6 hours (maximum charge time for a deeply

discharged battery). Typical charge time is (ML150LR™-2.5 hours)

(ML150LRS™-1.5 hours).

• Top Off/Maintenance: Battery charge level is at (or above) 80%

and will be slow charged to top off

• Idle: Battery charge level is at 100% and charging has stopped or

there is no light in the cradle

• Fault: Charger input/output Voltage is below the minimu

threshold for normal operation, a short-circuit is detected, or a

component failure has occurred.
