Supply
Power Supply Connection Instructions Instructions on how to proper connect the power supply. The wiring is a bit unusual, as the pins of both connectors are positive and connected. So the M15 works on negative power supply; 5 V for operation (DC connector) and a NiCd-charger (9 V without load, CHARGE connector).
Battery data 4.8v/5000mAh (NiCd). The manual states 8 hours for charge time, this results in a charge current of 0.2 C, in this case 1 Ampere.
