Operating Instructions

Charging Process:

Once batteries are inserted and the charger is connected to a power source, the charging process will begin automatically. The intelligent circuitry will detect the battery status and deliver the optimal charging current.

Understanding the LCD Display and Charging Status Indicators:

The ProMaster Dually Charger features an LCD display that provides real-time information about the charging status of your batteries. Additionally, LED indicators on the charger provide a quick visual reference for the charge level:

  • 1 Blink: Battery is approximately 25% charged.
  • 2 Blinks: Battery is approximately 50% charged.
  • 3 Blinks: Battery is approximately 75% charged.
  • Solid Light: Battery is 100% charged.

Charging time for two depleted batteries to reach 100% is approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the charger. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the built-in USB cable is neatly stored in its designated slot.
  • Handling: Handle the charger with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Charger not powering on / No indicator lights
  • USB cable not fully inserted.
  • USB power source is insufficient or faulty.
  • Charger or cable damage.
  • Ensure the USB-A cable is securely connected to both the charger and the power source.
  • Try a different USB power source (e.g., a different wall adapter or a different USB port). Ensure the power source provides at least 5V 2.2A.
  • Inspect the charger and cable for any visible damage. If damaged, discontinue use.
Batteries not charging
  • Batteries not properly seated.
  • Batteries are faulty or severely depleted.
  • Incorrect battery type.
  • Remove and re-insert batteries, ensuring they are correctly aligned and seated in the slots.
  • Test batteries in another compatible charger if available.
  • Ensure you are using Canon LP-E6(N) batteries. This charger is specifically designed for this battery type.
Charging is slow
  • Insufficient input power.
  • Charging two batteries simultaneously.
  • Ensure your USB power source provides the recommended minimum of 5V 2.2A. Lower amperage sources will result in slower charging.
  • Charging two batteries will naturally take longer than charging a single battery. The approximate time for two batteries is 4 hours 30 minutes.
