approximately four hours, whether or not the unit is in use on AC or DC power.
• While charging a fully discharged battery, the LED will continue to blink until 25%
capacity is reached. The LED will then turn solid.
• Each of the four LEDs, 25% -100%, will blink as stated above, then turn solid when
they reach their capacity.
• When all LEDs illuminate solid, the battery is fully charged and the LEDs will remain
solid for a period of time, then all four LEDs will turn off
.
• Wherever storing Focus battery for an extended period of time, ensure that the battery state of
charge (SOC) is not depleted or stored at 100%. Both these conditions can result in
unrecoverable capacity loss. The recommended SOC is 25% to 50% for long-term storage.
