Charging Batteries with the VARTA Charging Unit
Fig. 3-3 Battery symbols and bars in the charging unit
display
Insert 4 or 2 batteries. To charge only 2 batteries, insert
them in the two compartments on the right or on the left.
The batteries take up to 3 hours to recharge. Once the
batteries are inserted, battery symbols will appear in the
charging unit display where each symbol corresponds to
one of the charger compartments (Fig. 3-3). During the
charge cycle, the corresponding bar in the battery
symbols blinks. Note: If the battery symbols and bar do
not light up, only one battery may be inserted or the
batteries are inserted the wrong way round. When the
batteries are charged, the bars are permanently
illuminated. The charging unit now trickle-charges the
batteries to compensate for self-discharging.
The battery temperature is monitored in the charger.
When the temperature is too high, the bar in the battery
symbol is permanently illuminated and the charger
switches to trickle-charging.
If the batteries are correctly inserted and the displayed
battery symbols show no bars, the charger has identified
a battery problem. The charging current will be cut off.
Remove the batteries and discard, observing the
applicable waste disposal regulations.
