A. Charge Status Indicator
B. Fault/Error Indicator
This battery charger has an easy-to-follow 4-LED charge status indicator: 25%, 50%,75%,100%. This
indicator provides an estimate of the battery’s state of charge as charging progresses. During charging, the
corresponding state of charge LED will be flashing. When the 100% LED lights solid (i.e., stops flashing), the
battery is fully charged and the charger has entered the Maintain stage (see Understanding the Multi-stage
Charging Process).
The charger will continuously monitor charge progress and collect feedback from the battery during
charging. In the event an abnormal condition is detected, charging will stop and the will illuminate to
indicate one of three possible error conditions:
