Charger
The MC33XX’s Charge LED or the spare battery LED indicates the status of the battery charging in the MC33XX.
See Table on page 24 for charging status indications.
The MC33XX 2740 mAh PowerPrecision+ standard battery charges from 0% to 90% in less than 2.2 hours at room
temperature.
The MC33XX 5200 mAh PowerPrecision+ extended battery charges from 0% to 90% in less than 3.8 hours at
room temperature.
The MC32N0 2740 mAh PowerPrecision standard battery charges from 0% to 90% in less than 3 hours at room
temperature.
The MC32N0 5200 mAh PowerPrecision extended battery charges from 0% to 90% in less than 5.5 hours at room

Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC33XX.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC33XX or cradle alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC33XX or cradle indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.
Daisy-chaining Ethernet Cradles
Daisy-chain up to ten 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle with 4-Slot Battery Chargers to connect several cradles to an
Ethernet network. Use either a straight or crossover cable. Daisy-chaining should not be attempted when the main
Ethernet connection to the first cradle is 10 Mbps as throughput issues will almost certainly result.
To daisy-chain 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle with 4-Slot Battery Chargers:
1. Connect power to each 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle with 4-Slot Battery Charger.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the switch and the other end to the Primary Port of the first
cradle.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Secondary port of the first cradle.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Primary port of the next 5-Slot Ethernet ShareCradle with
4-Slot Battery Charger.
