OPERATION
General Charging Hints
• Completely discharge batteries
before you charge them. Repeatedly charging batteries that are
not fully discharged can shorten
their useful life.
• It is normal for the batteries to
become warm while charging.
• If you are charging two 9V b atteries, you can also charge other
types of batteries (except D batteries) in the two other chambers.
• You ca nnot charge a single AAA,
AA, C, or D battery in a battery
chamber at a time. You
charge a pair of batteries in one
chamber while the other chambers are empty.

• Do not overcharge batteries. P rolonged overcharging can shorten
the batteries’ useful life. See the
chart on Page 3.
Cautions:
• Never mix different-sized batteries
in the same chamber, or put a discharged battery in the same
chamber as a charged battery.
• Do not try to charge a battery of a
size other than those listed by
inserting it in the chamber or by
connecting the battery’s terminals
to the charging contacts with a
piece of metal.
• Charge batteries in an area
between 60 and 85°F. Batteries
do not fully cha rge when they a re
cold. If the area is too warm, the
batteries can permanently lose
their ability to charge.
To charge one or two 9V batteries,
push their terminals onto th e connectors inside the charger.
