USB PIGGYBACK
®
CHARGER
The USB Piggyback charger features an integrated charger/holder for a spare battery.
Insert the dual contact end of the battery into the Piggyback sleeve toward LED indicator.
The red Piggyback LED functions in the same manner as the primary flashlight charger/
holder LED.
CHARGING
Fully charge your flashlight before first use. The flashlight may be stored in the charger
continuously when not in use. There is no danger of overcharge.
To charge the flashlight, first turn it off and insert it into the charger. The triangular plate
on the flashlight head fits into a mating recess in the charger. With the plate toward the
charger, slip the barrel of the light between the charger arms and pull downward until it
locks into place.
IMPORTANT: Maximum charging temperature range is 20°F to 115°F with optimal
temperature range between 50°F and 86°F. A safety circuit prevents charging outside the
maximum range and the red charge LED will flash rapidly. When temperature is within an
acceptable range charging will resume.
LED CHARGE INDICATOR(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 ever y 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 as the battery is “topped off”.
Charge time is approximately 3 hours for the primary flashlight location and an additional
3 hours for the piggyback battery location (if equipped) when using the provided AC power
supply or 12VDC automotive cord. Charge time may be longer when connecting to other
powered USB outlets.
Before mounting a Streamlight charger in a vehicle, please read the following sections.
INSTALLATION IN VEHICLES
A 12VDC power cord (#22051) is equipped with a cigarette plug and is available for mount-
ing a Streamlight charger in a vehicle. The cigarette 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.) NOTE: USB input cord must be disconnected from the
charger/holder before attempting to plug in the 12VDC power cord to the charger holder.
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
