8 SAC5070 8-Bay Battery Charger
A full charge of a depleted battery takes up to four hours. The Charge Status LED
lights solid amber when the battery is fully charged.
Battery Age Test
The battery age test checks the battery capacity when fully charged. A worn-out
battery is considered to have less than 80% of its nominal capacity. The battery
test is simultaneously performed for all batteries inserted into the charger. It is
recommended to perform battery age testing once a month. The age test may
take up to 16 hours.
NOTE A battery removed during test and re-inserted is excluded from the test but
continues normal charging.
To test the battery(s):
1. Insert one or more batteries into Charging Bay(s).
2. Press and hold the Test Button for approximately 3 seconds until the Charge
Status LED of each active bay flashes green.
3. Refer to the table below when the indication of the Charge Status LED
changes.
