LED Status Meaning
Info LED illuminates
green
normal operation
flashes red a fault exists (see "Faults and remedies")
Red LED flashing quickly battery empty, state of charge < 40 %
when the battery continues to be discharged the
deep-discharge deactivation is triggered
flashing deep-discharge deactivation, state of charge <
30 %
Yellow LED illuminates battery weak, state of charge < 50 %
flashing switch-on threshold after deep-discharge deactiva-
tion has not yet been reached,
state of charge is 40 % to 50 %
1. green LED illuminates battery good, state of charge > 50 %
. green LED illuminates battery full, state of charge > 80 %
flashing quickly battery full, charge regulation active,
i.e. charging current reduced
