Note: Your battery charger may have a 2-color LED
display that indicates the following states of charging:
• A red light indicates that the charger is charging the
battery.
• A green light indicates that the charger is fully
charged or is disconnected from the battery.
• A flashing light that alternates between red and green
indicates that the battery is nearly fully charged. This

charged.
