Battery charging and maintanence
For optimal performance, the battery should be fully charged prior to
usage. The battery can be charged from any charge level. Only use the
Profoto Battery Charger 2.8A, Profoto Battery Charger 4.5A, or Profoto
Car Charger 1.8A.
If the battery is to be stored for a longer period it should be charged
half-full before storing. Never store an empty battery for a longer period
as it may go into a deep discharge state that can damage the cells.
After storing a battery for more than 6 months without using, it is highly
recommended to check the charge level on the battery. If less than
2 of the built-in battery level indicators lights up, the battery should
again be charged to half full before further storage. Always use Profoto
Battery Chargers 2.8A or 4.5A to charge an empty battery that hasn´t
been used for a longer period. The Car Charger 1.8A should not be used
in this case.
1. Dismount the battery.
2. Connect the battery charger to the battery pack.
3. Check that the battery charger indicates that charging is in
progress.
4. When the battery charger indicates that the charging is completed,
it is recommended to disconnect the battery charger and remove
the battery from the charger.
