IMPORTANT: Makita battery charger works only on 110 V or on 220 V and not on both voltages. If operator plans to use UAS on different voltage then he must change the charger according to the local voltage.
Charger is equipped with cooling fan for heated battery in order to enable the battery to prove its own performance. Sound of cooling air comes out during cooling, which means no trouble on the charger. Yellow light will flash for warning in one of two following cases, trouble on cooling fan or incomplete cool down of battery, such as, being clogged with dust.

IMPORTANT: If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
