Wireless: How long does it take to charge a Tempest Lithium-Polymer battery?
Question: Can you advise which method is quicker / more reliable to re-charge the Tempest Lithium-Polymer batteries, the individual wall wart charger for a single beltpack or the BC-5A 5-bay charger?
Answer: Using the 5 volt individual charger Lithium-Polymer batteries will take approximately 2¾ hours to charge from completely empty to completely full. This time is the same with the beltpack turned ON or OFF. A new, fully charged battery should power a Tempest 2400 beltpack for approximately nine hours (Tempest 900 beltpacks with a fully charged battery should power the beltpack approximately 8.5 hours).
Fast charging with the supplied fast charger requires a temperature range of 32° – 113° F. Batteries can receive more than 500 charge cycles, and continue to maintain more than 70% of their power rating. The Tempest battery indicator will maintain its accuracy as battery life decreases.
Alternatively, remove the Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery from the beltpack and insert it into the optional 5-Bay Battery Charger. The Lithium-Polymer batteries will take approximately 2½ hours to charge from completely empty to completely full.
