• When the battery cartridge is too hot, charging does not
begin until the battery cartridge temperature reaches
the degree at which charging is possible.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red
color, charging is not possible. The terminals on the

battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.

warning light. But the charging time will be longer than
usual in this case. Check the sound of cooling fan, vent
on the charger and battery, which can be sometime
clogged with dust.

cooling fan comes out, if the yellow warning light will
not flash.

cooling.

the yellow warning light will frequently flash.
