For optimum care of the battery, the EFOY fuel cell does not cut off the
charging current abruptly when it switches off. The EFOY fuel cell continues
charging up to the maximum absorption time (see S
current. The duration of recharging depends on the battery voltage and
whether or not the switch-off current is reached. You can set the charging
duration manually.
4.2.2 Sleep operating mode
In the Sleep operating mode, the battery is no longer charged automatically. Only
battery protection and antifreeze are still maintained. A sufficiently full fuel cartridge
and battery must be connected for this purpose.
This mode can be used, for example, if the battery will not be used for a longer period of
time or charging must be interrupted manually.
In the Sleep operating mode, the LED is off.
If you switch the EFOY fuel cell to Sleep mode before the minimum charging
duration has been reached (see S
corresponding amount of time until the charging cycle is complete. Leave the
fuel cartridge and battery connected during the shutdown procedure.
4.2.3 Starting the charging process
Requirement
The battery voltage is below the maximum voltage at which the fuel cell can start (see
S 2.3).
ECTION
The EFOY fuel cell charges the battery until the switch-off voltage is reached (see
S 2.3). The EFOY fuel cell then switches off automatically and remains in the
ECTION
Automatic operating mode, regardless of the previous operating mode. During the
charging process, the LED continuously lights up green.
The EFOY fuel cell is in a start-up phase in which the device is warming up
when charging begins. Once the start-up phase is complete, the EFOY fuel cell
reaches its full output power level.
4.2.4 Ending the charging process
If you would like to stop charging, switch the EFOY fuel cell to the Sleep operating mode.
If you would like the device to then start up again automatically, it must be switched
back to the Automatic operating mode.
