to select the mode
of operation you want to have. The LED for the
mode of operation you want will glow steadily.
You can choose between the following modes
of operation:
Mode 1 28.8 V (24 V / 3.5 A):
Suitable for batteries with a capacity of more than
14 Ah in normal conditions. Charging mode for
open batteries, MF and for most GEL batteries.
- The LED for Mode 1
}
lights up. As soon as
the integrated switch is thrown, the appropriate
LED for the state-of-charge also comes on
(see “State of charge”). The charging process
starts with an amperage of 3.5 A. As soon as
the battery has been fully charged (28.8 V) the
following LEDs light up:
W
,
E
,
R
and
T
.
The charger changes over to trickle charging.
If the voltage of the battery falls below 25.6 V,
the charging process starts up again with an
amperage of 1.5 A until the battery has been
fully charged again (28.8 V).
Mode 2
29.4 V (24 V / 3.5 A):
Suitable for batteries with a capacity of more than
14 Ah in cold conditions or also for many AGM
batteries (with electrolyte-absorbing mats) with a
capacity of more than 14 Ah.

lights up. As soon as the
integrated switch is thrown, the appropriate LED

fully charged again (28.8 V).
Mode 3 14.4 V (12 V / 7 A):
Suitable for batteries with a capacity of more than
14 Ah in normal conditions. Charging mode for open
batteries, MF and for most GEL batteries.
