Red Charger making me crazy!

[Jeroen Hendriks]

i noticed that if the camera fully drains the batteries the charger has more problems that usual

try to change batteries before they go under 10% and your problems will be less

ey karim, we've noticed that when the battery comes out of the cam it's pretty hot and the charger won't accept it. We wait +/-10mins for it to cool down and it works again.
take care karim

I had the red light charger probleme yesterday on a shoot, and it wasn't the first time. I charged a battery this morning and it worked at the first try.
Luis I think you gave me the key to my probleme, Well, I hope it's that one
Thank you.

Charging the battery is a three step process.

a) Prepare the battery for fast charge

b) Fast charge the battery (this takes it to about 80% capacity)

c) Top up the battery

With the current charger firmware steps a) and b) will be completed in around 2 hours, and if there is a second battery connected, the charger will switch over to do those two steps on the second battery after its completed them on the first, and then return to the first battery to complete step 3 etc.

So for a full charge on both batteries its an overnight charge timeline, but for 80% capacity you should be able to get away with 2 hours per battery.

Thanks Stuart . i can understand something here
If i want to full charge batteries then i should put them both on a charger and leave them ? is that correct ?
for how long the (c) charging mode it will take's ?

EDIT : OKAY .. OKAY
UNDERSTAND NOW .THANKS

Did you check if your battery was worm after removing from the cam? You have to wait a little bit, about 10 or 15 min. that the battery cool down. The charger will not start with the hot battery on it.....
