Charging Batteries
WARNING
Initial Battery Charging
CAUTION
All Matrix batteries receive an initial charge at the factor. Batteries ordered by Graco Matrix distributors
should be used with six months from receiving. If battery inventory is stored beyond the six month time
frame (either in the distributor or end user’s inventory)
the batteries must be re-initialized using either of two
methods:
• Three Day Initial Charging
• Single Day Initial Charging
If batteries are not fully initialized, irreparable cell
damage can result.
Three Day Initial Charging
The three day initial charging process is done using one
or more 4-bay chargers based on the number of batteries that must be re-initialized. All batteries in inventory
over six months must be re-initialized. If batteries are
not fully initialized, irreparable cell damage can result.
Completely follow the process to assure proper battery
initialization. The complete process will take approximately 3 days to accomplish.
The orange “Temp” light (A) may come on during
the charging process. See FIG. 2. Do not remove
the batteries from the adapter cups. The Temp
light indicates that power is not being supplied to
the batter(s) causing the to overheat. Overheating
reduces the life of the battery cells. This is a normal operating process of the charger.

Batteries may leak, explode, cause burns or cause an
explosion if mishandled. Read BATTERY SAFETY,

2. Insert battery(s) – yellow “Charge” light (B) begins
blinking. See FIG. 2.
The single day initial charging process is done using
one or more 4-bay chargers based on the number of
batteries that must re-initialized. All batteries in inventory over six months must be re-initialized. If batteries
are not fully initialized, irreparable cell damage can
result.
3. Charge until green “Ready” light (C) is blinking – this
first charge may take up to 24 hours.
4. Remove the battery(s), then reinsert them in the
charger cup(s).
5. Charge until green “Ready” light (C) is blinking – this

6. Remove the battery(s), then reinsert them in the
charger cup(s).
Follow the process below to assure proper battery initialization. This process will takes about 1 day to accomplish. You will need to purchase a programmable timer
for this method. Graco recommends using a Intermatic
DT-17, 7 day digital time. It sells for about $20 at Home
Depot. Instructions to program the timer is on the
Matrix Full Line Training CD (324050).
7. Charge until green “Ready” light (C) is blinking – this
third charge may take up to 2 hours.
The orange “Temp” light (A) may come on during
the charging process. See FIG. 2. Do not remove
the batteries from the adapter cups. The Temp
light indicates that power is not being supplied to
the batter(s) causing the to overheat. Overheating
reduces the life of the battery cells. This is a normal operating process of the charger.
8. Remove the battery(s), then reinsert them into
charger cup(s).
9. Charge until green “Ready” light (C) is blinking
again – this fourth charge may take up to 1 hour.
The battery(s) are now fully charged.
After the fourth charge is complete the battery(s)
can be left in the charger(s) indefinitely without
damage.
Initial charging procedure
1. Plug in charger(s) to a common power supply strip.

Charging Batteries
Recharging “In-Use” Batteries
Recharging a “Dead” Battery
1. Insert discharged batteries into the adapter cups.
The charger indicator lights will signal the condition
of the battery. See Diagnostics on page 7 for a
description of the lights.
A battery that is completely discharged has no voltage
across the contacts and acts like an open circuit, preventing the charger from operating. If you insert the battery into the adapter cup and NO lights appear, the
battery might be completely “dead” but still rechargeable.
2. Several seconds after the battery is inserted, the
yellow “Charge” light begins blinking as the battery
charges. See FIG. 3.
3. The green blinking “Ready” light comes on when
charging is complete.
4. Batteries can be removed and used or left in the
charger, which automatically switches to the “Maintenance Mode”. Maintenance mode is a state of
periodic pulse charging to maintain the full charge
without damaging the battery or charger.
Batteries may be left on the charger indefinitely
without damage to the battery.
1. Insert the battery into the charger.
2. Press and hold the black “Start” button for 1-2 minutes, or until the yellow “Charge” light flickers. See
FIG. 3. The light indicates that charge pulses have
been accepted and the charge cycle has begun.
3. Release the button and follow the progress of the
charging cycle using the test lights.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, only use Graco
batteries with the Graco charger. Do not insert a foreign object into the adapter cup.

Battery has high internal impedance. Remove then reinsert the battery and restart.
If light stays on after 4-5 attempts, the battery is spent and cannot be recharged.
Properly dispose of faulty battery.
Battery lasts only 7 days after
initial charge
Normal operation. Batteries typically last up to 7 days after the initial battery
charge. When batteries are placed in the meter, the “sleep mode” still draws power
from the batteries. If you are not planning to use or charge batteries within the 7
day period, leaving the battery in the charger is advised.
Short battery life
An outstanding work order in the system may be attempting to communicate with
meters with inadequate battery charge, thus consuming battery power from the
remaining meters in the facility. Replace dead meter batteries with completely
charged batteries, and avoid allowing batteries to go dead. Keep spare batteries
readily available in chargers at all times.
Battery charger green “Ready”
light flashes 5 times for each
yellow “Charge” light flash after
a completely dead battery is
installed for only 20 minutes.
Normal operation. Even though the green “Ready” light is flashing, the battery is
not completely charged yet (see Recharging a “Dead” Battery, above). Note that
the green “Ready” light must blink 20 times before the yellow “Charge” light blinks
once.
