be removed for immediate use.
C) State of charge of the battery is 95 %–100 %.
Operation
Start-up
u
Note the mains voltage!
The voltage of the power source
must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of
the charger. Chargers marked with 230 V can also be op-
erated with 220 V.
Charging process
The batteries
(1)
are charged one after the other in two
charging cycles.
– In the first charging cycle, all inserted batteries are
charged up to approx. 80 % of their capacity.
– In the second charging cycle, all inserted batteries are
charged from approx. 80 % to approx. 100 % of their ca-
pacity. The second charging cycle begins when all inser-
ted batteries have been charged to approx. 80 %.
Ensure that all charging bays
(2)
and charging contacts are
free of coarse dirt. Ensure that all rechargeable batteries are
fully inserted.
The charging process begins as soon as both the mains plug
and a rechargeable battery have been inserted. If the char-
ging process is started with multiple rechargeable batteries
simultaneously, they will be charged one after the other in
the direction of the imprinted arrows
(6)
(anticlockwise).
If the rechargeable battery has a state of charge of over ap-
prox. 80 %, it is skipped during the first charging cycle and
charged in the second charging cycle (from approx. 80 % to
approx. 100 %). If a new rechargeable battery with a state of
charge below approx. 80 % is inserted during the second
charging cycle (from approx. 80 % to approx. 100 %), it is
charged immediately. Once this rechargeable battery has
been charged to approx. 80 %, the charging sequence is re-
defined. The next rechargeable battery that is charged in the
second charging cycle (from approx. 80 % to ap-
prox. 100 %) follows the sequence of arrows
(6)
on the
charger (anticlockwise).
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the state of
charge of the battery is automatically detected and then
charged up with the optimal charge current depending on
battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains per-
manently fully charged when it is stored in the battery char-
ger.
Note:
The charging process is only possible when the tem-
perature of the battery is within the permitted charging tem-
perature range, see section "Technical data".
Priority button (priority start) (3)
Each charging bay
(2)
has a priority button
(3)
that will immediately start the charging pro-
cess in this charging bay.
– If the priority button
(3)
is
pressed once
,
the battery in this charging bay will be prioritised, mean-
ing that it will be charged up to approx. 80 % of its capa-
city (first charging cycle). At the beginning of this char-
ging process, the first four LEDs of the battery charge
indicator
(4)
will light up briefly. Once the rechargeable
battery has been charged to approx. 80 %, the next bat-
tery in the direction of the arrows
(6)
(anticlockwise) will
then be charged.
– If the priority button
(3)
is
pressed twice
, the re-
chargeable battery in this charging bay will be prioritised
further, meaning that it will be charged to full capacity
(i.e. approx. 100 %). At the beginning of this charging
process, the five LEDs of the battery charge indicator
(4)
will light up briefly. Upon completion of this charging pro-
cess, the other batteries will continue to be charged in se-
quence to approx. 80 % of their capacity.
If a battery
(1)
has already been fully charged due to priority
charging, the charging sequence will skip to the next char-
ging bay with a battery. The charging sequence follows the
direction of the imprinted arrows
(6)
on the charger (anti-
clockwise).
What the display elements mean
Green battery charge indicator (4)
When inserting the rechargeable battery
(1)
, the corres-
ponding battery charge indicator
(4)
will indicate the state
of charge of the rechargeable battery.
While charging, the continuously lit LEDs indicate charged
battery capacity. The successively flashing LEDs (sequence)
indicate the capacity to which the battery is currently being
charged.
The LED battery charge indicator applies for the re-
chargeable battery
(1)
both during and after charging.
