MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to single-phase a.c. current and only to the
system voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also
possible to connect to sockets without an earthing contact
as the design conforms to safety class II.
BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full capacity after 4 - 5 chargings
and dischargings. Battery packs which have not been used
for some time should be recharged before use.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
CHARACTERISTICS
After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger
the battery will be analysed within 10 seconds and then
automatically be charged.
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger,
charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches
the correct charging temperature (0°C...50°C).
Charging time varies depending on the battery temperature,
charge needed and the type of battery pack being charged.
As soon as charging is completed, the charger switches
over to ”trickle” charge to maintain the full capacity.
If green and red lamp fade at the same time, either the
battery has not been completely mounted or there is a fault
in the battery or the charger. For safety reasons you must
stop using the charger and battery immediately and have
them inspected by an AEG Customer Service Centre.
