Charging Your Cyclone
The Cyclone offers a fast charging time of 2 hours and a charge-level indicator that’s easy to read at a glance.
To charge your Cyclone with the included charger:
Plug the charger unit into an AC outlet.
Plug the charger cable into the multifunction socket on the Cyclone.
Wait for all of the green battery LEDs to stop ashing and remain on.
To charge your Cyclone with the optional BO-1004 DC car charger:
Plug the charger unit into a compatible charger socket (cigarette lighter) in a car or other vehicle.
Plug the charger cable into the multifunction socket on the Cyclone.
Charging is completed when for all of the green battery LEDs to stop ashing and stay on.
To get the maximum capacity from your Cyclone:
Charge your Cyclone shortly before use to ensure that the pack has retained the maximum charge. Ni-MH
batteries gradually lose their charge when not in use.
Charge your Cyclone at a moderate room temperature, and avoid storing it in hot environments between

charging and use. High temperatures can cause Ni-MH batteries to drain more quickly when being stored.
Note: When charging the pack outside of the United States, plug adapters may be used to plug the charger
into any 100-240 V AC power outlet.
Reading the indicator lights while charging:
While your Cyclone is charging, its red Charge LED will remain on, and its four green battery LEDs will ash in
sequence during the charging process. When the pack is fully charged, all four battery LEDs will remain on.
The Status LED remains off during charging. If the battery is not charged to its full capacity after 4 hours’
continuous charging, the Status LED will ash to indicate that the battery is faulty or has reached the limit of
its product life and can no longer hold a full charge. Please replace the Cyclone immediately if this occurs.
Checking the Cyclone’s charge level:
When the Cyclone is not charging and is not connected to a ash unit, you can check the level of charge by
pressing the power button. The battery LEDs will illuminate to indicate the level of charge as follows:
Connecting Your Cyclone |9
Battery LED 1 on: 25% or lower charge level
Battery LEDs 1-2 on: 25%-50% charge level
Battery LEDs 1-3 on: 50%-75% charge level
Battery LEDs 1-4 on: 75% or higher charge level
Connecting Your Cyclone to Your Flash
You can use the Cyclone to power a wide range of ash units. To connect, you must use a compatible
connection cable. Cables sold by some ash and battery pack manufacturers are interchangeable with Bolt
cables, but other ash brands use a different connector type. Make sure you select the right one.
Important! Load your ash unit with its standard batteries before connecting it to the Cyclone.
Most compatible ash units require the standard batteries to be installed in order to power the computer
functions that allow the ash to work.
You may need to set your ash unit to recycle by drawing power only from the Cyclone to avoid draining the
