Description

This is a fast battery charger for Dell™ model D820, D830 & D831

batteries only. Do not attempt to use this charger with any other battery

type. Eight battery charging pockets are provided to rapidly service this

specific battery series. Working from a common line power outlet, a

maximum 600 Watt power supply mounted internally provides all the

necessary power for charging these batteries as described below.

Charger Status Indicators

A tri-color LED indicator is located below each pocket to indicate

charge status of the battery in that pocket:

Preparation for Use

Place the charger unit on a sturdy horizontal surface with its line cord

exiting the unit from the back side (the side away from the user). The

power switch will be on the side nearest the user. Plug the AC line cord

into a standard 115 VAC socket. The cord serves as the disconnect

device. The line outlet socket must be near the unit and easily

accessible. The circuit should be qualified to handle at least 15 Amps

and be relatively free of other heavy loads while the charger is operating.

Warning

Charge only Dell™ model D820, D830 & D831 batteries.

Smart Battery Calibration

Dell™ series batteries mentioned above are 'smart'. They have an internal

controller that interacts with the charger to report charge status and other

information. Through normal use errors in the estimated charge level will

accumulate and cause false readings. These errors can be eliminated by

recalibrating the battery's internal controller. This charger has the facility to

calibrate batteries placed in the left-most front pocket. To trigger calibration of

a battery in this pocket, momentarily press the front-panel calibrate switch.

The start of a calibration cycle will be confirmed by a blinking yellow/green

indicator. The calibration cycle may take up to 9 hours. When finished the

battery will be fully charged and the controller will be calibrated to that state.

Operation and User Interface

Press the rocker switch in to turn the charger power supply on. If line

power is present, the power indicator will illuminate steady green and the

power supply fan will become active producing an audible sound (this is

normal). Place batteries into charger pockets in any position or sequence

being careful to orient the batteries so the connectors line up, then gently

pressing them down all the way into the pockets. Each of 4 pairs

(front/rear) of pockets operates independently charging batteries

sequentially based on which battery was inserted first. When a battery is

seated properly in a pocket its corresponding LED will illuminate solid

yellow if the battery is the first of the pair to be inserted, or will blink yellow

if the battery is the second of the pair to be inserted. When a pocket has

finished charging, its LED will turn solid green and the second pocket of

that pair will begin charging, if necessary. If a fully charged battery is
