Set the charging sequence The GKL221 charger can charge two batteries simultaneously.
When more than one battery is connected to the charger, the one connected first is charged first.
Always connect the more urgently needed battery first.
Priorities Batteries are charged at the external battery connection without interrupting a charging process already
begun.
Retaining the full charge When the battery is fully charged, it may remain connected. NiCd and NiMH batteries are charged in
turns to retain their full charge. In this way, the intrinsic self-discharging is compensated and the battery
is always fully charged and ready for use. Refer to section "Charging modes" for more information.
