CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS
This charger is designed to detect certain
problems that can arise with the battery packs
or the power source. Problems are indicated
by one LED flashing in different patterns.
BAD BATTERY
The charger can detect a weak or
damaged battery. The red LED
flashes in the pattern indicated on the
label. If you see this bad battery blink
pattern, do not continue to charge the
3.25
battery. Return it to a service center or a
3.75
collection site for recycling.

When the charger detects a battery
that is excessively hot or excessively

6.25
Delay, suspending charging until the

battery has normalized. After this happens,
the charger automatically switches to the
Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red LED flashes
in the pattern indicated on the label when
the hot / cold pack delay is detected.
