Battery and battery charging
The battery can be charged through the mains outlet by using a special charger or charged
directly from the car cigarette lighter when driving. The charging time is only 2.5 or 5 hours
depending on the charger used. The generator can be used during charging. The generator
cannot be used without a battery in place. The battery will not deteriorate from being
charged frequently or from being charged when not fully discharged. Neither does it need
to be fully charged before using it. The actual battery life is in fact elongated when fully
recharged. The battery indicator shows the charge level and is up-dated when the generator
is turned on or when firing a flash. The battery can be charged when dismantled.
The environment influences the capacity of both the generator and the battery, for example
extreme cold decreases the battery charging capacity.
