green) every other charge.
• If your batteries are new, charge batteries 100% (solid green).
• Do not charge the batteries longer than 30 hours.

damage to the surfaces it contacts.

which could be damaged by the acid contained inside a battery. Take
precautions to protect the surface on which you charge the batteries.
