Charging
The battery can be charged with specific SWIT chargers:
- SWIT PC-P461 (6A Fast charging)
- SWIT S-3812S (6A Fast charging)
- SWIT S-3822S
- SWIT PC-P430S
- SWIT SC-302S
The LED Indicator light will show the remaining power when charging (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 95%).
The ambient temperature range for charging is -4~122°F (-20~50°C). However, 14~104°F (-10~40°C) is recommended for optimizing the charging performance.
Discharging
Please put on the rubber cover immediately after use the D-tap to avoid dust.
The ambient temperature range for discharging is 32~104°F (0~40°C). However, 50~86°F (10~30°C) is recommended for optimizing the discharging performance.
Capacity display LEDs
The LED Indicator light shows the remaining power when charging (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 95%).
Capacity | LED Display (U → D) |
---|---|
≥95% | Five solid LED indicators |
80% ~ 95% | Four solid LED indicators, one empty |
60% ~ 80% | Three solid LED indicators, two empty |
40% ~ 60% | Two solid LED indicators, three empty |
20% ~ 40% | One solid LED indicator, four empty |
<20% | One blinking indicator (star symbol) |
Trouble shooting
If the battery is under discharge protection, try the following actions to recover:
- Remove the battery and wait for the battery to recover by itself.
- Please put the battery in the shade, after a few minutes of cooling, the battery will automatically recover. If the battery cannot be recovered after the preceding operations, it indicates that the battery is exhausted. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
If the battery cannot be charged or discharged, please follow these steps:
Put the battery in a cool place and wait for the core temperature to decrease (Recommended > 30 minutes). Then, connect the battery to the charger and try to charge it. If the battery charges normally, it will return to its normal operating state.
