Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the charger and batteries. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store batteries and charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, charge batteries to approximately 50% capacity.
• Battery Care: Avoid completely discharging batteries frequently, as this can reduce their lifespan. Recharge batteries before they are fully depleted.

Troubleshooting

• Charger not powering on:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the charger and the power source.
  • Verify the power source is active and providing sufficient power (5V 2-3A).
  • Try a different USB cable or power source.
• Batteries not charging:
  • Ensure batteries are correctly inserted into the charger slots.
  • Check if the battery contacts are clean and free of debris.
  • If a battery is severely depleted, it may take a few minutes for the charger to recognize it.
  • If the battery is old or damaged, it may no longer hold a charge.
• Short battery life:
  • Ensure batteries are fully charged before use.
  • Battery capacity naturally degrades over time and with usage cycles.
  • Operating in extremely cold environments can temporarily reduce battery performance.
