Installation Requirements

Assemble Flex Charger

There are two different ways to assemble the Flex charger.

Operation

Operating Instructions

Operating the Flex Charger

The Flex Charger is designed for a mains voltage/frequency range of 100V to 240V and 50Hz to 60Hz.

  1. Connect the charger to the mains power. When the charger is connected to the mains supply, the power indicator glows green.

  2. Insert the Li-ion battery into the charging station. Charging starts automatically as soon as the battery is inserted. The charging time depends on the charge state and capacity of the Li-ion battery.

Interconnect Chargers

The Flex charger has built in interconnection. The maximum number of chargers interconnected is limited, depending on the output voltage of the power supply.

  • Maximum 4 chargers at 100VAC (Japan)

  • Maximum 5 chargers at 110-120VAC

  • Maximum 10 chargers at 240VAC

    This includes the master charger, that is connected to the alternating current (AC) grid.

Battery Health and Charge Display

When the charger is connected to a battery, the state of health (SOH) and the state of charge (SOC) will glow for 5 seconds before starting the charge pattern.

Battery State of Health

Battery health is shown by the outline of the battery indicator.
