Characteristics
In the fi rst 15 seconds after inserting the battery into the
charger, a test to detect the chemistry is carried out.
For this, a short charge in the form of a three-cycle (200
- 700 – 200 mA) is applied to generate a stress increase
inside of the battery. Does this not happen, the battery is
identifi ed as “defective” and the LED starts to fl ash.
If the battery is not defective, the charging rate increa-
ses for the next 45 seconds to 700-1000 mA. The fi nal
charging rate within this range is defi ned by the internal
resistance of the battery.
Each of the loading bays takes its charging rate of 700-
1000 mA independently of the other directly from the
main power source, because the bays are not connected
in series.
Mode of Operation
The charger works with minus Delta V cut-off for Ni-Cd
and Ni-MH batteries and according to the voltage for Li-
ion batteries (4.15 volt cut-off per cell / 8.3 volt cut-off for
nominal 7.4 volt batteries).
In addition to the aforementioned attributes, the charger
includes a Safety-Timer, which shutdown after 5.5 hours
the charging process independent of other parameters.
After that the charger will be switching over to the modus”
trickle charge”. At this juncture, a buffer current (10 sec.
long) of 100 mA followed by a break of 60 seconds. This
cyclical process will be repeating till taking out the battery
from the charger.

When the charger is connected to main power, the
orange “PWR” light will light on. When the green “OK”
-light will fl ash once - it indicates that the self-test of
the charger is completed and you are ready to charge.
Ensure that correct battery adapter cup is installed.
Insert battery into charger. Red “CHG” LED will light
up, indicating that the battery is charging normally.
When the green “OK” light starts to glow, the battery
is fully charged and ready for use. In “OK” mode, the
charger will continue to apply trickle charge until the
battery is removed.
A fl ashing red “CHG” light indicates that the battery
is defective and should not be used anyway. Please
dispose old and defective batteries properly.
To change the battery adapter cup, fi rst UNPLUG THE
CHARGER from the main power supply. Remove the
two screws holding the adapter cup in place. Carefully
pull adapter cup out and disengage the white connector
on charger PCB. Connect desired new adapter cup
and securely re-fasten both screws.

Operating the Charger
The charging time depends on different conditions, in
particular temperature and the actual charging state of
the battery. Besides the battery should always be charged
within the best termperature between +10°C and +30°C.
Please Note:
Using the charger below a temperature range of 0°C the
accumulator will not be fully charged, even if the charging
time will be longer than normal.
Charging Time

Safety Instructions
For indoor use only.
Please make sure the battery pack is fi tting the adapter
cup correctly when start charging.
Only for use with Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and Li-ion / Li-Poly
chemistry batteries.
Do not charge defective, damaged or leaking batteries.
Charger MUST be unplugged from main power supply
when changing battery adapter cups.
Always unplug the charger from the main power supply,
when no battery is charging.
To prevent accidents or damage to charger, do not
short-circuit the battery charger terminals.
