5.5 Battery Charger
The CH5000 is a standalone desktop smart, standard battery charger with the added ability to recalibrate
the fuel gauge on smart battery packs.
5.5.1 Using your Charger
Place the charger on a flat, 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.
5.5.2 Charging
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.
LED Indication:
The status of the battery is indicated by the LEDs visible in the status window:
Green flashing

Green solid
Battery fully charged
Blue flashing

Recharge and recalibration Time:
The recharge time for the battery (NC2040) is 3 hrs. The time given is for a full charge from 0% to 100%
state of charge.
Recalibration is 16-20 hrs. A calibration cycle will be faster if the battery is fully charged to begin with.
5.5.3 Fuel Gauge Recalibration
If fuel gauge recalibration is needed, the red LED on a calibrating charger will flash upon insertion of the
battery. This provides feedback on the accuracy of the fuel gauge.
At this point you can choose to either calibrate the fuel gauge or to charge the battery. Calibration takes
longer than charging and it may not be convenient to go through the calibration cycle at that moment.
