SMART CHARGER LED INDICATORS(S)
The red LED on the charger housing (or PiggyBack sleeve) must light to ensure that the battery is being
charged.
• Charging…LED is steady.
• Charged…LED pulses shortly every second.
• Error…LED pulses rapidly. This may be caused by out of range temperature or input voltage.
• It is normal for the indicator to switch between steady and blink
STEADY CHARGER
Full charge within 15 hours (depending of battery pack capacity). Red LED remains on as long as flashlight
is in the charger for NiCd and NiMH batteries. When using the Li-Ion battery, the red charge LED will blink
when the battery is fully charged.
STEADY PIGGYBACK
®
CHARGER
Available in a steady model, the PiggyBack charger features a steady-rate charger holder for a spare battery.
The red Piggyback LED will glow indicating charge a long as the battery remains in the charger. When installing
the Li-Ion battery, the red LED will blink brighter when the battery is fully charged.
NOTE: When the spare battery is out of the Piggyback charger, keep the yellow battery cap over the battery
contacts to avoid shorting out the battery.
Before mounting a Streamlight charger in a vehicle, please read the following sections.
CHARGER MOUNTING
The charger should never be mounted against any heat sensitive surface.
Before drilling any holes, make sure there is room to insert and remove the flashlight.
Two (2) self-tapping #8 x 2" screws are included to mount the charger. The correct size hole for these screws
in sheet metal is 1/8."
VEHICULAR CHARGING
A 12V DC power cord (#22051) is equipped with a cigarette plug and is available for mounting a Streamlight
charger in a vehicle. The plug can be removed and the wires can be attached directly to a power source for a
more permanent installation. (A two amp fuse must be used on the positive lead.)
IMPORTANT: Before making electrical connections in a vehicle, keep in mind that a shorted auto battery
can easily start a fire. Make all connections with insulated lugs or other connectors intended for such use.
Be sure that your installation is fused.
The striped power lead is positive and the unmarked lead is negative. When connecting the charger to a
fuse block the striped, positive power lead goes to the connector that is dead when the vehicle's fuse is
removed. The charger body is electrically isolated from the charge circuit and allows positive ground
installations. The charger is diode protected and if connected in reverse polarity simply won’t operate until
connected properly.
Streamlight recommends connecting chargers to an unswitched source of power to ensure the flashlight is
always fully charged. If the vehicle will not be driven for several days, the flashlight should be removed
from the charger to avoid vehicle battery drain.
Charging the flashlight with a Steady Charger draws a constant .2 amperes from a vehicle.
The optional Fast Charger will draw between .5 and .7 amps for up to 4 hours during the fast charge period.
During maintenance charge, current is pulsing and effectively draws .1 amps.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Simply unscrew the tailcap and slide the battery from the flashlight. Replace the battery inserting the contact
end first and reattach the tailcap.
CARE AND USE OF BATTERIES
To obtain the maximum performance and life from nickel-cadmium, nickel metal hydride or Li-Ion batteries:
1. Thoroughly read the sections in this manual covering Safety, Charger Mounting and Charging.
2. Fully charge before first use.
