Charging process

Charging process
The yellow "Charging" display will light up as soon as the flow of
charging current starts. If however the red "Reversely poled" display
lights up, immediately check and change the polarity of the pole clips.
The time until charging end voltage is reached depends on several
parameters such as
• the capacity (the more capacity, the longer the charging time)
• the type of battery
• the charging condition of the battery (full, partly charged or empty)
• the surrounding temperature
• the general condition (age) of the battery
At the end of charging (battery is full) normally the yellow "Charging"
LED will turn off. With older or high capacity batteries the battery could
however be too self-discharging (approx. 1 % of the battery capacity)
and the charging device may not identify this enhanced trickle charging
current as a completed charging cycle (yellow LED display does not
switch off). In this case the plug-in charger will work as a buffer in order
to compensate the self-discharging of the battery.
In the case of newer batteries the LED will normally light off when the
battery is completely charged. Batteries of different capacities can be
charged. With larger batteries, charging time will be prolonged; with
smaller batteries, it will be shortened.
