Chapter 1: Introduction

The Marathon Battery Charger is designed to simultaneously charge four rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) extended batteries
within 4 hours. The time required for charging is dependent upon the battery pack temperature and conditions. Both sizes of
extended batteries can be charged in every charging bay.
The Marathon is powered by a main battery (Li-Ion rechargeable 2200 mAh) concealed inside the Marathon case, that provides
2.5 hours of operation without a recharge. The main battery can only be recharged using external power sources, such as an
indoor AC/DC adapter connected directly to the Marathon or an extended battery attached directly to the Marathon. The main
battery will also recharge when the Marathon is docked in a powered desktop or vehicle dock.
The battery charger should be located in an area where it:
