Overview of the NXT-BP and NXT-CHG
The NXT-BP is a rechargeable Lithium-Ion "smart" battery used with the
Modero NXA-BASE/B Battery Base. This battery provides the user with an
on-board battery life indicator (FIG. 3).
The NXT-CHG Modero Power Station is a two bay, stand-alone battery
charger that is compliant with the Smart Battery System. This tabletop unit
can be used to recharge up to two NXT-BP batteries. The batteries are
charged in the order they are inserted into the NXT-CHG.
The NXT-CHG Slot 1 has the feature of being able to completely discharge
and recharge (Recalibrate) a battery. Refer to FIG. 2 for more information.

Powering the NXT-CHG
The NXT-CHG uses an included power supply to provide power for charging
the batteries.
1. Connect the terminal end of the included power supply to the rear of
the NXT-CHG Charger.
2. Provide power to the unit by connecting the other end (plug) into a
power socket that meets the requirements outlined in the
Specifications section for the NXT-CHG.
Reading NXT-CHG LED Indicator
FIG. 2 shows the front connectors on the NXT-CHG Modero Power Station.
There is one LED indicator in front of each bay (FIG. 2) that conveys the
status of that bay as follows:
• Off: No battery detected
• Green Flashing: Fast charging
• Green Solid: Fully charged
• Yellow Flashing: Recalibration in process
• Yellow/Green: Recalibration complete
• Yellow Solid: Standby (waiting for other battery to charge)
• Red Flash: Error (problem with either the battery connection to the
internal slot or the battery itself)
Checking the NXT-BP Charge
1. Press the Battery Life Indicator button (FIG. 3) once to illuminate the
Battery Life LEDs and display the percent charge remaining on the
battery.
2. Repeat these steps for the remaining NXT-BP battery.
3. Charge the batteries by inserting them within the battery charger.
Refer to the following section for more detailed information on this
process.
AT T E N T I O N !
If the 25% LED indicator is blinking, this indicates there is less than 5% of a
charge remaining on the battery.
