Charging the Battery Pack (Excluding GasAlert Extreme
and GasAlertClip Extreme)
a Warning
There is a maximum of six charging docking modules that can be
installed on the base station (six charging modules plus two non-
charging modules for a maximum of eight docking modules per
station).
To charge successfully, the temperature must be between 50°F to
95°F (10°C to 35°C). Charge the battery when the detector emits a
low battery alarm.
a Caution
The charger is for indoor use only.
Do not calibrate or bump the detector immediately after charging
is complete.
When charging for the first time, refer to the detector’s user manual or
operator’s manual.
Note
The detector will not charge while bump tests or calibrations
are being performed. If the battery is low, charge the detector
for 30 minutes then begin a test. When the test is complete
resume charging the battery.
Charger/Battery Pack Guidelines
• Deactivate the detector before charging.
• When charging is complete, the detector can remain in the
detector bay without wear or damage to the battery.
• Charging the battery pack in temperatures above 86°F (30°C)
greatly reduces the number of possible charges to the battery
pack.
• When charging is complete, the battery pack may be warm.
• The battery pack requires approximately three charge cycles to
achieve full charge capacity.
• The base station only charges using DC power.
• Charging more than four units simultaneously increases the total
charge time.
• When charging an extremely depleted battery, the battery
requires a longer charging time.
• The detector cannot charge during bump tests or calibrations. If
battery power is low, charge the detector for 30 minutes and then
initiate the bump/calibration.
• When a fully charged battery is inserted into the detector bay, the
charger LED lights red for 6 to 10 minutes before lighting green.
This action will not wear or damage the battery.
Charging Different Detectors Together
Up to six charging docking modules can be attached to the base station.
If charging GasAlertMicroClip, GasAlertMax XT, or GasAlertQuattro with
GasAlertMicro 5/PID/IR or GasAlertMicro, refer to the following:
• If another GasAlertMicroClip, GasAlertMax XT, or GasAlertQuat-
tro is added, the added detector will wait in queue until a
