● When the battery charger has been continuosly
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, give 15 minutes
rest until the next charging.

to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot
lamp may light in green.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
● When the pilot lamp fl ikers rapidly in red (at
