Radio Shack 23-410 Battery Charger User Manual

Note: The charger can activate or revi-
talize some chemically dormant batter-
ies. If you have new batteries (or
batteries that have not been used for a
long time) that cannot be fully charged
(charged to more than 60% of battery
capacity) singly, recharge them three or
four at a time, then discharge them com-
pletely through normal use. Repeat this
process five times. Then, if the batteries
will still not fully charge singly, this
means you will always have to charge
them three or four at a time.
CHARGING A 9V
BATTERY
Refer to the graph on Page 6 for charg-
ing times.
1. After connecting power to the
charger, simply push the terminals
of the 9V battery onto the connec-
tors inside the charger, matching the
polarity symbols marked next to the
connectors. The charger begins
charging the battery and the 9V
charging indicator flashes.
Notes:
The cover does not need to be
closed to charge the 9V battery.
You can charge up to 4 AA or
AAA batteries, or 2 C or D batter-
ies at the same time as you
charge a 9V battery.
2. When charging is complete, the 9V
charging indicator lights steadily.
Remove the battery.
Note: If other batteries are still
charging after the 9V battery is fully
charged, the 9V charging indicator
continues to flash until the other bat-
teries are fully charged.
3. Unplug the adapter from the AC out-
let.
Warning: To prevent damage to
your charger and risk of electric
shock, always unplug the AC
adapter from the AC outlet before
you unplug it from the charger.
Cautions:
After you unplug the adapter from
the AC outlet, wait at least 3 sec-
onds before you plug it into the
AC outlet again.
Be sure to remove all batteries
before you unplug the adapter to
prevent battery leakage that will
damage the charger.
