Safety
⇒ Do not expose the charger or power supply to water or liquids; this is not a sealed case. 2. Do not open the
charger or power supply case, no user serviceable parts are inside.
⇒ Do not cover the fan exhaust or obstruct the airow, this will cause overheating.
⇒ Use only the manufacturer’s power supply and observe terminal polarity.
⇒ Place the charger in a cool spot, away from external heat sources
⇒ Caution - during recalibration the charger may become warm.
Operation Guidelines
Place the charger on a at, level surface away from sources of heat and moisture. Plug the DC connector
from the power supply into the back of the charger and connect the power supply to the mains AC supply
using the cable supplied.
Charging Batteries
Place the battery into the battery bay ensuring that the 5-way connector is fully seated. The LEDs in the
status window will provide status information and the charger will automatically begin charging.
The BAT-CHARGER-1 charger is capable of sensing and delivering an appropriate charge to all Inspired
Energy NiMH and Li Ion standard battery packs, including the BAT-95WH and SIdeHAND2 batteries used in-
DEWETRON systems. Upon inserting the battery into the charger, the battery communicates to the charger
over the SMBus telling the charger what type of cell chemistry it is and what type of charge regime it needs.
The charger then congures its output to provide the charge regime requested by the battery. If no SMBus
communications are issued from the battery, the charger interrogates the thermistor/resistor I.D. pin on the
battery terminal and delivers an appropriate charge.
LED Indication:
The status of the battery is indicated by the LEDs visible in the status window:
Green ashing: Battery charging
Green solid: Battery fully charged
Blue ashing: Battery in calibration mode
Blue solid: Battery fuel gauge calibrated
Red ashing: Battery fuel gauge in need of recalibration
Red solid: Error
