6. Maintenance
- Clean the charger and battery contacts regularly with a dry, soft cloth to ensure optimal connection.
- Avoid exposing the charger or batteries to dust, dirt, or moisture.
- When storing batteries for extended periods, ensure they are partially charged (around 50%) and stored in a cool, dry place.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Batteries not charging (LEDs not red) | Incorrect battery type; poor contact; insufficient power supply. | Ensure only 1.5V lithium AA/AAA batteries are used. Check battery polarity. Verify power supply is DC 5V/2A or higher. Clean contacts. |
| Charger LEDs flashing red | Defective battery; incorrect battery type. | Remove the problematic battery. Ensure only 1.5V lithium AA/AAA batteries are used. If the issue persists with multiple batteries, the charger may be faulty. |
| Batteries not holding charge | Battery end-of-life; device power consumption. | While designed for 1000+ cycles, all batteries eventually degrade. Consider replacing older batteries. Check if the device has unusually high power draw. |
