7.1. Charging
This function causes the unit to charge the battery connected to it according to
the values set. No discharge process its performed before the charging function
begins, and the battery is charged to 100% of its actual capacity regardless of
any residual charge which may be present. In this case, new batteries may store
more than the specified nominal capacity while old batteries cannot reach that
level.
- After entering the battery data and selecting the CHARGE function (symbolized
by an arrow pointing into the battery symbol), the charging process is activated
by pressing the „Start/Stop" key.
In the case of a totally discharged battery (< 300 mV per cell), only the
„Refreshing" function can be activated. After executing this function, the
battery can generally be used again.
- While the connected battery is being charged, the corresponding channel
control LED lights up.
- When the battery or battery pack has reached its maximum storage capacity,
„VOLL" (full) appears in the display and the green control LED above the
respective connection socket flashes.
- The pulse trickle charge is then activated for an unlimited period to compensate
for loss of charge through self-discharge. The battery can thus remain in the
charging unit, when switched on, for an unlimited period of time.
