Charging the IB388 batteries.

Do NOT unplug the IB388 Batteries from their charger unless the IMARS D300 charger states “IDLE”. Doing so may damage the batteries.

Charging multiple IB388 Batteries on one D300 charger can lead to charging errors in addition to slower charging times. It is recommended to charge one battery per charger.
