Deep Discharge Battery
In case of a deeply discharged battery, the voltage of the battery is too low to operate the
charging circuit and the display controller, the phone can not be turned on and the normal
charging process can not be started. No charging symbol is visible in the display.
In this case, charging the battery is divided into two different steps, which have to be run
subsequently:
a) Trickle charge for S35i Phone
Trickle charge mode is automatically started if the battery voltage is below 3.0V when the
charger is connected to the mobile. The charging current in Trickle mode is appr. 10mA.
Trickle charge mode has to last minimum until the battery voltage has exceeded 3.2V,
then the phone will switch on and the charging icon appear. During trickle charge the
charging symbol will not be visible and the telephone can not be turned on. This is
because the battery voltage is too low to operate the telephone.
Action:
Insert battery into handset and connect travel charger to the telephone. If within 4 hours
the battery voltage is high enough again, the charging symbol will come up.
If the battery is discharged very deeply, the symbol may not come up and the trickle
charge time possibly has to be extended up to 24 hours.
