The battery symbol indicates the current state of charge. The more bars are dis- played, the further the charging process has progressed. As soon as the battery is fully charged, a minute counter appears (figure on the right). This counts the minutes since the end of charging and makes it easier to judge which battery has cooled down the most when using several battery chargers.
As long as a battery is connected to the charger, only the charging process can be interrupted and resumed using the "Pause/Start" key. Display modes can be changed using the "Menu" key as described in the "Display" section, but this is only possible when no battery is connected to the charger.

Use the "Up/Down" keys to set the desired value (e.g. "24" for the number of battery cells). Use the "Pause/Start" key to confirm what you have entered. If one or more relevant settings are changed for the charging process in configur- ation mode, you will once again be prompted to confirm acceptance of the changed settings when exiting configuration mode.
Electrolyte cir- "Air Pump" electrolyte circulation (not culation available on the Selectiva 220 V vari- ant): The electrolyte circulation cycle is controlled by the charger's control system. A number of selection options are available for this purpose. The following settings are available for electrolyte circulation: Electrolyte circulation switched off.

The measured battery temperature is not taken into account. required ... Charging only starts if the temperature sensor is connected. Error overtemperature ON/OFF ON ...
Delay If the battery remains connected to the charger for the duration of the equalising charge delay ("equalize charge delay"), a special type of charging takes place. This prevents acid stratification. The parameters for the current (ampere/100 ampere hours), voltage (volt/ cell) and duration of the equalising charge may all be changed.
If the "Automatic/continue charging" option is activated, the charging process is automatically continued after a fault in the electrical network as soon as the electrical network is available again. Calendar Calendar The calendar function allows charging to be started automatically according to the following criteria: Time window in which charging may not be started if a battery is connected.

NOTE! Ongoing charging operations are unaffected by the set time windows. ▶ If, in the example above, a battery is connected at 05:45, the charge end time is governed according to need and is not interrupted by the end time specified for the set time window (06:00 in the example).
Special charges Special Charges Selecting "Special Charges" allows one or more of the alternative charging types to be performed temporarily.
