Solution
When you attach the battery securely and insert the prongs or the plug into a power outlet, recharging starts automatically and the charge lamp starts blinking in orange.
It takes about 2.5 hours to fully recharge a completely exhausted battery.
| Charge Level | Charge Lamp | |
| Color | Indicator | |
| 0 - 50% | Orange | Blinks once per second |
| 50 - 75% | Blinks twice per second | |
| 75% or higher | Blinks three times per second | |
| Fully charged | Green | Lights on |
NOTE
- The time required to recharge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and battery's charge level.
- For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C / 41°F - 50°F) will take a longer time (up to 4 hours).
