Solution

When you attach the battery securely and insert the prongs or the plug into a power outlet (see the images below), recharging starts automatically and the charge lamp turns orange.

  • When the battery is fully recharged, the charge lamp will turn green.
  • It takes about 2 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery.


NOTE
The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and battery's charge level.
