Operation
Starting Operation
 Ensure that the vehicle socket is designed for the spe-
cific input voltage. The vehicle socket is protected by a
fuse.
When using the battery charger on on-board power systems
in accordance with ISO 4165, the adapter 8 must be removed
(see arrow image).
If the adapter 8 loosens and becomes stuck when pulling the
12 V plug 6 out of a 12 V socket, pull the adapter 8 out using
the draw hook 7.
 To pull out an adapter 8 which has become stuck, use
the draw hook 7. Do not use metal objects. Danger of
short-circuiting.
Charging Procedure
The charging process begins as soon as the 12 V plug 6 is
plugged into an energised 12 V socket, the specified input
voltage is present (the vehicle engine has been started) and
the inductive battery 1 or the power tool with battery 1 (with
base of the battery) is placed onto the charging platform 5.

The charging process only begins when the battery capacity is

less than 85 – 90 %. This prolongs the life of the battery.
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-
(80%) 100%
tion of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is
charged with the optimum charging current, depending on

This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully
