4. AutoPulse Li-Ion batteries placed in a charging bay are automatically charged and tested for
minimal performance (Charging LED illuminated) in less than 4
¼ hours.
5. AutoPulse NiMH batteries placed in a charging bay are automatically charged and tested for
minimal performance (Charging LED illuminated) in less than 6
¼ hours.
Note: Do not remove a Battery from the Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger until its charging
completes, or the Battery’s run time will be reduced.
6. The AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger automatically conducts a Performance Test on
both the AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery and the AutoPulse NIMH Battery to ensure each Battery meets
performance standards. The Performance Test occurs every time a Battery is placed into the
AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger.
7. Once the green LED on the Charger illuminates the Battery is fully charged and has successfully passed
the Performance Test. The Battery is ready to use.
