will not come on, If this occurs, let the cartridge cool off for
a
while. Then re-insert it
and try to charge it once more.
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used
for a long period, it may not accept a full charge. This is
a
normal condition and does
not indicate
a
problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging
it almost completely a couple of times.

you
wish to charge
two
