Operating Instructions for the LG1485 Battery Charger
Foreword
Dear Customer,
Please read these operating instructions carefully before you use the LG1485 Battery Charger.
Pay particular attention to the safety notices on the following pages.
Keep these instructions for future reference and pass the documentation on to any future owners.
Brief Description and Functionality
The LG1485 Battery Charger is a charger and testing device for up to four rechargeable batteries, featuring an integrated
System Management Bus (SMBus).
The device can be used to charge any combination of two-cell (7.2 V) and three-cell (10.8 V) rechargeable lithium ion
batteries.
The battery charger communicates with the batteries via the SMBus. When a battery is inserted into the charger slot, the battery
charger automatically checks whether the battery only needs to be charged or requires a full testing cycle (conditioning).
To measure and optimize battery capacity and to recalibrate the SMBus system, the device alternates between charge and
discharge cycles during the full testing cycle. Once the testing cycle is complete, the battery is ready for use. The battery
status is shown by the testing LED (see the table on the following page).
The testing cycle can be started and stopped individually for each battery by pressing the corresponding button.
