LEAB Automotive GmbH 6 Charging Characteristics 6 Charging Characteristics Battery charging is fully automatic and micro-processor controlled with a 3- stage IU characteristic curve for gentle and optimum charging of the batter- ies. The charging phase of the charger is indicated by the LEDs on the display of the unit ( About this Product [ 7] , Fig.
Page 14
6 Charging Characteristics LEAB Automotive GmbH I phase: Charging with constant current Depending on the battery charge state, the battery is charged with maximum charging current to store as much energy as possible in the battery. After reaching the set main charging voltage, the charger switches to the next char- ging phase (U ).
LEAB Automotive GmbH 7 Assembly Charging characteristic: POWER SUPPLY Champ Pro chargers In the “Power Supply” setting can also be used without the battery connected to supply DC consumers. This setting can be used, for example, when replacing the battery in the vehicle to avoid on board com- puter and radio data loss due to the loss of power and having to be repro- grammed.
