Operation:
Load the battery pack SBP-18 alone using the battery guides (6) or just
insert the complete radio ST-2112 with the battery on it.
As soon as you load the battery, Charge LED (8) will let you know the
charging process has started.
Within the first two seconds, the ST BC-D01 will exchange information
with the battery itself to knows about actual battery status (remaining
charge, temperature, quantity of charging cycles, typical current load,
etc).
With all these information, the battery charger will adjust the re-charge
parameters to maximize the battery life, getting the best performance
for your radio.
After the battery charger recognizes the battery and sets all parameters,
the multi level indicator (7) will show the remaining battery charge, at
the time the CHARGE LED (8) remains on.
This process continues up to the charging process becomes stable, then
the multi level indicator will alternate showing the battery charge and
the time left to complete the charge.
When the CHARGE LED is on, the information displayed into the multi
level indicator, shows the real percentage of residual charge in the
battery. Each led in the bar means 10% of the charge. So, if only three
LEDs on the multi level indicator it means that the actual charge is about
25% to 35%. If 10 LEDs are on, then it means the battery has more than
95%.
By cycles of 3 seconds, the indication will change from CHARGE to TIME
LEFT.
When TIME LEFT indicator LED is on, it means that the information
represented on the multi level indicator bar expreses the time required
