Charging Base

There are provisions for mounting the base if desired. Any #10 or M3.9 screw with a low profile truss head, will go through the center of the charging base. Screw head must be no larger than an 0.484 in. or 12.3 mm.

And, head height must be no longer than 0.130 in. or 3.3 mm. Use appropriate threads for the type of material to which the base is mounted.

Mount vertically only on horizontal surface with open end up.

Section 2 Charging the Battery

Total time to fully charge a dead battery is approx. 2.5 hours.

Before using your MAG-TAC®, place it in the charging base for at least one hour, or until the LED indicator shows solid GREEN.

Your MAG-TAC® charger is compatible with PC USB ports. NOTE however, charge times are slightly longer with a PC USB port than with the provided MAGLITE® adapters.

DO NOT use any charging base, wall adapter, or generic battery charger other than the ones provided with your MAGLITE®.

Make sure your light is Turned OFF (Mode 5) before inserting it into the charging base.

Fault : Charger output is below the minimum threshold for normal operation. Short circuit on charge terminals or component failure is detected.

Pre-Conditioning : Battery is dead. Base will charge battery at very low rate, it will then proceed to Fast Charge.

Fast Charge : Base will fast charge the battery up to approximately 80% capacity.

Top-Off : Battery is at 80% capacity, base will perform a slow charge until battery is 100% capacity.

Maintenance/Idle : Charge is complete. The base will maintain a FULL charge state. The flashlight is left in the base and as the battery voltage drops slightly over time, the base will switch between Top-off and an idle state.

Inspection and Maintenance

Battery Pack – See Warnings Section for more information. Periodically (approximately every month) remove the battery pack from the flashlight and visually inspect for signs of gas or chemical leakage. Indications of leakage are discoloration of the plastic sleeve or white fuzzy material near the top (positive button) of each cell. Another indication would be a bulging deformation of the bottom (negative flat end) of the cell can. If these signs are observed the battery pack should be removed from service to prevent chemical damage to the inside of the flashlight. See One Year Battery Pack Warranty for more information concerning warranty coverage.

Fully Charged Battery Storage – If you do not use your flashlight for long periods of time (four months or more) we suggest you remove the battery pack from the flashlight to prevent chemical damage (acid leaks). Electrical Contacts – The bare (bright) metal surfaces between the tailcap and barrel must be cleaned periodically to ensure a good electrical contact. Also keep the tailcap spring clean. O-ring Seals and Screw Threads – To keep seals from drying out and the threads operating smoothly, apply several drops of clean petroleum oil or jelly to these surfaces two or three times a year. Anodized Exterior Finish – The protective finish on the flashlight is very durable; however, constant exposure to sunlight, water, chemicals, gases, etc., will dull, discolor and eventually destroy the protective finish. Care should be taken to avoid any harsh environment.

Laddningsenhet

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
