Description
This is a fast battery charger for 6 cell and 9 cell VBI-CBB Li-Ion
batteries. Do not attempt to use this charger with any other battery
type. Sixteen battery charging pockets are provided to rapidly
service this specific type laptop computer battery. Working from a
common line power outlet, a 600 Watt power supply mounted
internally provides all the necessary power for charging these
batteries as described below.
Operation and User Interface
Press the top half of the rocker switch in to turn the charger power
supply ON. If line power is present, the power indicator will
illuminate steady green and the power supply fan will become
active producing an audible sound. This is normal. Place batteries
into charger pockets in any position or sequence being careful to
orient the batteries so the connectors line up, then gently pressing
them down all the way into the pockets. Each of eight pairs
(front/rear) of pockets operates independently charging batteries
sequentially on a first inserted, first charged basis. When a battery
is seated properly in a pocket its corresponding LED will illuminate
solid yellow if the battery is the first of the pair to be inserted, or will
blink yellow if the battery is the second of the pair to be inserted.
When a pocket has finished charging, its LED will turn solid green
and the second pocket of that pair will begin charging, if
necessary. If a fully charged battery is inserted, the pocket will
indicate charging for a short time, then terminate with the indicator
showing solid green. See next page for a complete list of status
indicators. When finished charging, batteries may remain in the
pockets or be removed. Press the bottom half of the power switch
to turn the charger off.
Charger Status Indicators
A tri-color LED indicator is located below each pocket to indicate
charge status of the battery in that pocket:

Preparation for use
Place the charger unit on a sturdy horizontal surface with its line
cord exiting the unit from the back side, the side away from the
user. The power switch will be on the side nearest the user. Plug
the AC line cord into a standard 115 VAC socket. The cord serves
as the disconnect device. The line outlet socket must be near the
unit and easily accessable. The circuit should be qualified to
handle at least 15 Amps and be relatively free of other heavy loads
while the charger is operating.

Smart Battery Calibration
INTEL VBI batteries are 'smart'. They have an internal controller
that interacts with the computer to report charge status and other
information. Through normal use errors in the estimated charge
level will accumulate and cause false readings. These errors can
be eliminated by re-calibrating the battery's internal controller.This
charger has the facility to calibrate the controller of batteries
placed in the two left-most front pockets. To trigger calibration of a
battery in these pockets, momentarily press the front-panel
calibrate switch associated with that pocket. The start of a
calibration cycle will be confirmed by a blinking yellow/green
indicator. The calibrate cycle will take up to nine hours. When
finished the battery will be fully charged and the controller will be
calibrated to that state.
