6.1 Charging the Battery
The charging time depends on several factors, e.g.
temperature of the battery or the ambient temperature. The
actual charging time may differ from the specified charging
time. For specified charging times see www.stihl.com/
charging-times.
The charging process starts automatically
when the plug is inserted in a wall outlet and
the battery is fitted in the charger. The
charger switches itself off automatically when
the battery is fully charged.
The battery and charger heat up during the charging
process.
► Insert the plug (6) in a convenient wall outlet (7).
The charger (3) runs a self test. The LED (4) glows green
for about 1 second and then red for about 1 second.
► Lay the connecting cable (5).
► Insert the battery (2) in the guides in the charger (3) and
press it home as far as stop.
The LED (4) glows green. The LEDs (1) glow green and
the battery (2) is being charged.
► If the LED (4) and the LEDs (1) stop glowing: Disconnect
the plug (6) from the wall outlet (7).
Battery is fully charged.
