Understanding the
High Capacity
Battery LED’s
There are two LED indicator lights located on the bottom of your high
capacity DSAM Product Family Series battery (refer to Figure 12 on
page 24) -- the red “CHARGE” LED and the green “OK” LED.
The green “OK” LED illuminates to indicate that the battery is
completely charged.
The red “CHARGE” LED illuminates to indicate the present charge
condition. Under normal charging conditions, this LED should remain
on constantly. A flashing LED is indicative of a fault condition. To inter-
pret the “CHARGE” LED indications, review Table 12.
