When charging is complete, the battery pack may be warm.The battery pack requires approximately three charge cycles to achieve full charge capacity.The base station only charges using DC power.Charging more than four units simultaneously increases the total charge time.When charging an extremely depleted battery, the battery requires a longer charging time.The detector cannot charge during bump tests or calibrations. If battery power is low, charge the detector for 30 minutes and then initiate the bump/calibration.
