Select charging mode
You can choose between diff erent charging modes
for charging various batteries at diff erent ambient
temperatures.
Unlike standard battery chargers, this appliance has
a special function for reusing an empty chargeable
battery or accu. You can recharge a completely dis-
charged battery/accu. A protection function against
incorrect connection and short circuiting ensures
safe charging. Due to the installed electronics, the
charger does not begin operation directly after
connecting the battery, but only starts after a
charging mode has been selected.
This prevents sparking, which often occurs when
connecting. In addition, the battery charger is con-
trolled by an internal MCU (micro-computer unit).
Reset/deleting settings
♦ After connection to the power supply, the appli-
ance automatically returns to its initial state and
remains in Standby mode
Switching between modes 1, 2, 3

mode. If a 12 V battery is connected, Mode
1 (
) is not selectable. If a 6 V battery is con-

not selectable. If a battery is not disconnected
from the charging station after a full charge,
the appliance remains in trickle-charge mode,
even if the user switches over to another
mode. This protects the fully charged battery
from being damaged.

the LED display
remains on during the
entire charging process, until the battery is fully
charged to 7.3 V/± 0.25 V. When the battery
is fully charged, the LED display
lights
up and the LED display goes out.
The appliance now switches automatically into
trickle charging mode.
