BC70K Charger LEDs Status
The BC70K charger has a LED for each compartment (BAT 1 and BAT 2) and a common indicator
(POWER).
LED color / frequency Description
Green LED / pulsing (BAT 1, BAT 2) The battery is being charged
Green LED / continuous (BAT 1, BAT 2) The battery is completely charged
Red LED / pulsing or continuous (BAT 1, BAT 2) The battery charger fault
Red LED / continuous (POWER) The charger is properly connected to power source
Battery Charging Recommendations
The battery lifespan is estimated to 500 recharging cycles and is largely dependent on the conditions of
use. To maximize the lifespan of the batteries and battery charger, follow these recommendations:
•Do not recharge the battery until it is completely flat, as shown with red LED slow pulse on the
transmitter
•Always charge the batteries at temperatures between 0° and 45°C (the batteries will not become fully
charged at temperatures exceeding 45°C)
•Do not leave the battery charger or batteries in a direct sunlight
•Charge batteries at least once every six months
•Avoid short circuits between the battery contacts; do not carry charged batteries in toolboxes or next
to other metal objects (keys, coins, etc.)
•Always keep contacts clean
