Tempest900 2-Channel Operating Manual
Charging the Lithium-Polymer Battery
With the Lithium-Polymer batteries installed in the battery compartment, plug the AC end of the
supplied 5VDC Charger/Power Supply into a standard AC wall outlet. Open the rubberized access
cover on the side of the BeltStation and plug the USB end of the Charger/Power Supply into the USB
connector. The Lithium-Polymer batteries will take approximately 2¾ hours to charge from completely
empty to completely full. This time is the same with the BeltStation turned ON or OFF. A new, fully
charged battery should power a Tempest BeltStation for approximately nine hours.
Fast charging with the supplied fast charger requires a temperature range of 32° – 113° F.
Batteries can receive more than 500 charge cycles, and continue to maintain more than 70% of their
power rating. The Tempest battery indicator will maintain its accuracy as battery life decreases.
Alternatively, remove the Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery from the BeltStation and insert it into
the optional 5-Bay Battery Charger. The Lithium-Polymer batteries will take approximately 2½ hours to
charge from completely empty to completely full. See the battery charger manual for additional details.
Power Options
The Tempest BeltStation can be powered by:
• Supplied Lithium-Polymer battery.

not charge the AA batteries either.
• Supplied battery charger / power supply.
