Indicator lights
The batteries are equipped with charge indica-
tor lights. Press the indicator button to display
lights.
The charger indicator lights give an approxima-
tion of the battery charge state (more lights =
more charge). A variety of factors (including
battery temperature, discharge rate, age, etc.)
can affect this. Batteries may show more
charge after resting for a few minutes than
right after use.
