AA Battery Charger Instructions
If you use items that run on AA batteries, where the battery drain tends to be intense and you have to replace them often, switching to rechargeable batteries can save you money in the long run. AA battery chargers come in all sizes allowing you to charge two, four and up to 20 AA batteries at a time. You can plug a charger into any standard wall socket or use an adapter to plug into your car's 12v socket. Some even have small solar panels to allow you to charge your batteries while outdoors. No matter what type you have, the AA battery charger instructions for each are the same.
Instructions
1. Plug your charger into your power source (wall socket or 12v car socket). If you're using a solar AA battery charger, don't plug it into anything. The cover to the battery compartment is the solar panel for the unit. Place it where it can receive the maximum sunlight for the maximum amount of hours.
2. Install your rechargeable batteries into the battery compartment of your AA charger (lift the cover on the solar charger to access the battery compartment). Make sure that the positive (+) end of the battery is pointed toward the positive (+) end of the compartment. There will be a (+) mark on both the battery and the charger to indicate which ends are positive. If you are using a solar charger make sure to close the cover when all of your batteries are loaded.
3. Look at the charge indicator light. It is typically located on the upper right or lower right corner of the charger battery compartment. It should be a solid red light. If the light is not on then check your power source (clean the top of the case if it is solar as there may be too much dust on it for the solar panel to work). If the light is red but flashing then remove each battery and wipe it with a paper towel to remove any debris that might be interfering with the connection and reinstall the batteries. If the light is still flashing red, remove one battery at a time until the light stops flashing and turns completely red. The battery you removed just before the light went solid red is bad and should be discarded.
4. Remove the batteries when the charge indicator is a solid green color. They are ready to be used.
