Depending on the battery’s charge level, the charger will
adjust the charging currents. The specified maximum
charging current will only be used to charge the battery
during the main charging phase. Just before the maximum
charge is reached, the charger operates with lower charging
current. This ensures that the battery is charged gently and
effectively up to the full capacity.
Special functions
Reactivating deep discharged 2V batteries
Pulse charging pre-charges deep discharged 12V batteries to 10.5V. If a battery
voltage of 10.5V has been reached, the battery will be charged up to full capac-
ity via the respectively selected charging program.
During reactivation, the charger will operate with reduced charging current
alternating between 0.07A and 0.8A.
Fault protection function
If the charger detects a short circuit of the charger, a contact interruption or
incorrect polarity, the charger will automatically end the charging program and
switch to standby mode 14 (see fig. C).
Protection against overheating
If the temperature of the heat sink inside the charger increases to 212°F (100°C),
the charger will reduce the charging current until the heat sink has cooled down
to normal operating temperature.
Trickle charge
Once the battery is fully charged, the charger will automatically switch to trickle
charge. At the same time, the charging process will be interrupted depending
on the voltage measured or the full charge of the battery will be maintained
with low charging currents of 0.07A and 0.8A.
