1.10 Battery Charger
1. Remove the battery from the scale.
2. Plug battery charger into an AC power receptacle. The input voltage is universal
from 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz. If the power input plug doesn’t match, contact
MSI for information on international plugs.
3. Slide the battery charger connector plate over the top of the battery until the
battery terminals mate with the charger connectors, as seen through the two
observation holes.
4. Approximately six to eight hours is required to recharge a fully discharged
battery. If a battery was deep discharged, more time might be required, but the
MSI-3460 prevents deep discharging. Partially discharged batteries will finish
the charge faster.
The charger is a three stage float charger that can be left on the battery indefinitely. It
has a dual color LED to indicate the charging state: RED- fast charge mode. GREEN-
charged or float charge.

Note
To obtain maximum service life from your batteries, the manufacturer
suggests recharging after each 20 hours of use. Continuous deep
discharging will reduce maximum battery life cycle estimated at 2000
cycles.
A second battery is recommended to enable you to use your scale
continuously. Keep one on the charger while the other is in service.
