    Recharging the battery in the workshop For the recharging of the battery in the workshop at 20 ° C use a constant current charging of minimum I (ZeMa200P18*: 20.8 A) and the trickle charging voltage of 2.29 Vpc. Rail Engineering Tel.
  • Page 24 The procedure applies for a limited period a small charging current (<10% I to the series-connected 2V cells. During this charge with constant-current the voltage limit is increased to 2.8 Vpc. Charging Equalization charge Duration current System ZeMa200P18 max. 2.08A ZeMa270P12 max. 2.70A max. 10 h 33.6V ZeMa340P18 max. 3.70A ZeMa450P21 max.
  • Page 25 Recharge a completely discharged battery as soon as possible in the workshop at 20°C with a reduced current of I (ZeMa200P18*: 9.8 A) for 26 hours. Limit the charge voltage to 2.35 Vpc: After this step adjust the charging rectifier back to trickle charging voltage of 2.29 Vpc. A subsequent recharging for at least 72 hours will help to maintain the electrochemistry of your battery.
