You need to simply remove one battery for putting off the lights. However, the red light still shows even if you remove the charger. You can remove the batteries and then put them on charge again. You can leave both the batteries inside the charger for more than 1 day with the light still in blinking mode. When the light of the battery blinks for more than 1 minute then it indicates low voltage. However, upon needing new charging, you need to drain the charge of the batteries completely, and then recharge again.

This also means that the battery has already received a full charge. When you insert the battery into the charger, and it still continues to blink for more than five seconds, then it indicates high voltage. The first sign that includes is that you need to watch for the red light for more than five seconds. For this purpose, you need to observe few signs. However, you can bring back the life of the batteries. This means that both the batteries are damaged. When the battery charger shows a blinking red light, it indicates that the batteries have gone bad. The Radio Shack charger comprises a built-in converter circuit that gets heated during quick charging. It is a common phenomenon for a charger to become hot during the fast charging process.

Though, it does not imply that the batteries are getting charged at a quicker rate or they are being overcharged. The reason for this is because of the amount of heat that is transferred to the batteries by the converter circuit.

When you charge two rear batteries, you will notice that these two batteries get heated as compared to other banks.

Since it has been many years since driving the lower section of Skyline Drive, and never in the fall, I decided to take it for at least part of the trip & meet Karin in DC.However, to charge a battery you need to follow a protocol. I did call when I hit the Virginia state line & while we were in & out of cell phone reception areas leaving voice mail for each other, they had to check out well before I hit Waynesboro Because I kept waiting for the sunlight to warm the trees behind the Grist Mill at Babcock State Park, by the time I gave up I was pretty sure they would be gone before I got there. The original plan was to meet Karin, her family & friends at the Loft Mountain Campground at mile 80 on the Skyline Drive. Skyline Drive & Washington, DC- You don't need it - you are here!Īfter leaving Babcock State Park I headed east on I 64 to Waynesboro, VA. Mabry Grist Mill & More of Babcock State Park That was the basic itinerary of the trip - I've divided it into sections so the same first section will appear in all of them. I met my daughter, her husband & granddaughter in Front Royal and followed them back to their home in Washington, DC. The next part of the trip was driving the lower section of Skyline Drive. I also took a side trip to the Mabry Grist Mill along the Blueridge Parkway. On "Bridge Day" they close the bridge, set up food & craft booths and allow base jumping from the bridge into the gorge below. On the way I made a short stop at the bridge on US 19 crossing the New River Gorge, missing "Bridge Day" by a week. So, I planned a fall trip.Īs long as I was heading south, I also decided to try to hit Babcock State Park in West Virginia for a fall visit ( Spring 2010 trip to Babcock State Park) which contains one of the most photographed grist mills in the country. In both cases, I felt the images would be better with the fall colors as a background. I visited the park on a RV trip to Pennsylvania in 2001, and again last spring. There are 22 named waterfalls in the park as well as two streams filled with cascades. Ricketts Glen is a wonderful place to photograph both. If you have been a viewer of my other pages, you will quickly discover that I enjoy photographing moving water, waterfalls in particular. This will be my second trip to shoot waterfalls in the South (well, at least south of New York!), and my 3rd trip to Ricketts Glen State Park. To see a larger image, click on the photo
