These battery packs can be charged while in the printer or by inserting them into the optional fast charger. During recharge, the temperature and voltage of the battery packs are controlled constantly to guarantee that full charge is reached quickly and that overcharging is avoided. A discharge function on the fast charger allows the battery pack to be fully recharged even after only partial use. The universal AC/DC adapter and fast recharger weights approximately 350 g.
