to the carrier who delivered the carton.
• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.
• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
Introduction
The 8650 8-Bay Battery Charger simultaneously charges eight
rechargeable lithium ion batteries. The time required for charging is
dependent upon the battery internal temperature and condition. The
battery charger should be located in an area that is well ventilated
and not in high traffic areas. It should have enough clearance to
allow easy access to the power port on the back of the device, and
be protected from rain, dust, direct sunlight or inclement weather.
The charger is not approved for use in hazardous locations.
This device is intended for indoor use only and requires an indoor
AC power source. The AC cord should not be stepped on, tripped
over or subjected to damage or stress.
Mounting the 8650 8-Bay Battery Charger
Place the charger on a horizontal, hard surface or fasten securely to
a wall using the mounting holes. Mounting hardware is not supplied
by Honeywell.
Assembling the Power Supply
The AC power supply for the battery charger is shipped with the battery charger. For non-US models a power cord is required.
1. Plug the A/C power cord into the power adapter.
2. Plug the power cable into the power connector on the back of the
8650 8-Bay Battery Charger.
3. Plug the A/C power cord into a grounded power source. The
charger is now powered.
The charge pocket LEDs flash while the battery charger enters and
exits the startup check. The battery charger is ready for use once
the charge pocket LEDs are no longer illuminated.
Charging Batteries
Hold the battery with its three charging contacts in line with the three
charging contacts in the charging pocket. Use the direction of the
arrow on the battery label as a guide and align the yellow dot on the
battery with the yellow dot on the charger. Firmly press the battery
straight down into the battery charging pocket.
It is important that batteries are inserted into the charging pocket
correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly could result in damage to
the battery or the charger. Do not “slam” or slide the battery into the
pocket. This could damage the charger.
When a battery is placed in a charging pocket, the battery charger
begins charging the battery. There is a slight delay while the charger evaluates the condition of the battery before charging begins.
While charging, the charger and battery will generate enough heat
to feel warm. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. The
red LED on the 8-Bay Charger indicates the battery is charging. A
green LED indicates the battery has been fully charged and can be
removed.
