Frequently Asked Questions - QC80F HUSQVARNA

How to charge the battery with the QC80F?

Plug the charger into a vehicle 12 V outlet. The charging LED flashes once. Insert the compatible Husqvarna battery. The charging LED turns solid green during charging. Remove the battery when fully charged (all battery indicator lights on). Disconnect the plug by pulling on the plug, not the cable.

Which batteries can I charge with the QC80F?

Use only original Husqvarna batteries. The batteries are software coded to work with QC80, QC80F, and QC250 chargers. Do not use non-rechargeable batteries.

What does a solid red charging LED mean?

A solid red charging LED indicates a permanent charger error. Contact your Husqvarna dealer for assistance.

What to do if the charging LED flashes red?
