This article explains how to charge GX1 batteries using the dual-bay Charger.
Prerequisites
One or more GX1 batteries (the kit ships with three).
The dual-bay Charger.
The DC power supply and mains cable supplied with the Charger.
Step 1: Connect the Charger to power
Plug the DC power supply into the back of the Charger.
Connect the mains cable from the power supply to a mains outlet.
The Charger's fan turns on and all LEDs illuminate for two seconds at power-up.
Step 2: Insert batteries
Place a GX1 battery into a Charging Bay.
(Optional) Place a second battery into the other Charging Bay.
The Charger begins charging automatically. The status LED flashes green while a battery is charging.
Step 3: Wait for charging to complete
A status LED turns solid green when its battery is fully charged. A solid red LED indicates an error. A flashing red LED indicates the battery's charge meter needs recalibration: see Calibrate GX1 batteries.
A single battery charges in approximately 2 hours.
Two batteries charging in parallel take up to 3 hours. Charging Bay 1 takes priority and finishes first.
To confirm a battery is fully charged, press the button on the battery. All four green LEDs light up at full charge.
Step 4: Remove the batteries
Remove the batteries from the Charger when charging is complete.
Outcome
The GX1 batteries are at full charge and ready to install in the GX1. See Install and remove GX1 batteries.
Additional information
The kit ships with three batteries and the Charger has two Charging Bays. Start charging a depleted battery as soon as one comes out of the GX1 so a charged battery is always ready.
The Charger can also recalibrate a battery's charge meter to keep charge-level readings accurate. See Calibrate GX1 batteries.
