3: Power Supply
Plug the charger to the power supply (12-16V input with AC adapter). The
outlet for the AC adapter is located on the rear side of the device.
After plugging in, Turbo will start operating with a short jingle followed by the
status report (e.g. “all channels are empty”).
Turbo 6 is automatically recharging Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel-Metal-
Hydride (NiMH) and Rechargeable-Alkaline-Manganese batteries (RAM) size
AAA (Micro), AA (Mignon), C (Baby), D (Mono) and 9V batteries. Different
sizes can be recharged at the same time in any combination. The device
automatically recognizes the battery type and defines the charging process for
each individual battery.
4: How to Start
As soon as the batteries are placed in the charging channels, the charging
process begins. The flat (negative) end of tubular batteries has to contact the
metal clip of the corresponding charging channel. When recharging 9V
batteries make sure that the plus pole of the battery (the smaller of the two
metal rings) is on the left side. After a short initiation phase (battery diagnosis),
Turbo will automatically begin the charging process and announce the status
after a short beep tone (e.g. “Channel 1 – charging”).
Once the charging process has ended, the battery is kept in float charging
mode. Overcharging the batteries is not possible; therefore the batteries can be
left in the charging channel for a longer time. Batteries in different sizes can be
recharged at the same time. Turbo will automatically recognize type and
system of every single battery and adapt the charging process to its capacity
and state of health. When a battery is placed in or removed from a channel,
Turbo will announce this with a short beep followed by the corresponding
announcement.
The required charging time depends on the size, capacity, inner resistance,
state of charge and quality of the battery.
Note:
When charging batteries size AAA (Micro) in Turbo 6,
check the contact between the minus pole of the battery and
the metal clip of the channel by sliding the metal clip towards
the battery end.
