ROBBE POWER PEAK MAXAMP 8121 Operating Instructions Manual page 41

The constant charge current is switched
off shortly before the battery reaches its
final charge voltage.
During the second phase the charge cur-
rent falls off, since the difference in voltage
between charger and battery is steadily
declining.
A further 35 - 40 minutes are required in
order to charge in the remaining capacity.
The unit switches off the charge process
when the charge current falls to the bot-
tom limit (approx. 10% of the set charge
current).
At a charge rate of 1C, this means that the
total charge process takes at least 90 minu-
tes if the battery is initially discharged.
Safety Notes
relating to Lithium-Ion-Polymer batteries
These operating instructions for the battery
charger can only provide a global overview
of the methods of charging and handling
rechargeable Li-poly batteries, and should
not be considered as a substitute for the
instructions provided by the battery manu-
facturer.
Please be sure to read the instructions
and information supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
• It is essential to place the battery on a
fireproof surface for charging and disch-
arging, and the process must be super-
vised constantly.
Supplementary Instructions
POWER PEAK MAXAMP LI
11
• Do not submerge the battery in water or
any other fluid; this could damage the
control module, which would cause the
battery to be charged at abnormal cur-
rents or voltages.
• Do not heat or incinerate the battery, or
place it in a microwave oven.
• Do not short-circuit the pack or charge
it with reversed polarity.
• Do not subject the battery to physical
pressure; do not deform or throw it.
• Do not solder directly to the battery.
• Do not modify or open the battery.
• Do not charge the battery to a voltage
higher than 4.2 Volts per cell.
• Do not discharge the battery to a vol-
tage lower than 2.5 Volts per cell.
• Li-poly batteries may only be charged
using a charger designed expressly for
this purpose. Never connect the battery
directly to a mains PSU.
• Never charge or discharge the battery in
direct sunshine, or close to a heater or
fire, as this could damage the control
module.
• Do not use the battery in any location
which is subject to severe static disch-
arges.
• Any of these errors may cause the bat-
tery to be damaged, explode or catch
fire.
• Keep the battery well out of the reach of
children.
• If electrolyte should escape, keep it well
away from fire. The substance is highly
inflammable and may burst into flames.
• Avoid the fluid electrolyte contacting
your eyes. If this should occur, rinse the
affected part immediately with plenty of
clean water before seeking medical
attention.
• If the fluid electrolyte should contact
your clothes or any other object, imme-
diately wash it off using plenty of water.
• Please observe the general safety notes
relating to battery charging as well as
these specific safety notes; you will find
them in the main operating instruction
Order No.
