Your Sports-LITE battery will show its state of charge (SOC) via the 5 LED display on the battery. When the battery power on button pressed, the LED’s will show the charge level. The single red (power on LED) and four green LED’s indicate the battery is fully charged at 100%. As the battery discharges the green LED indicators will gradually go out in approximately 20% stages. When the red LED indicator shows, the battery is low and those relying on the light should finish the task in hand so they aren’t suddenly left in darkness. At approximately 5% SOC the red LED will flash. When the battery is completely exhausted no LED’s will show until the battery is placed on charge again.

Ritelite offers 2 types of charger- a standard charger and a fast charger.
