Appliance description
The automatic battery charger is controlled by a
microprocessor, which ensures 3-level charging. Level 1
charges the battery at nearly constant rate up to app. 85%.
Level 2 charges the battery at constant rate to app. 95%.
Level 3 maintains the battery voltage at a constant level,
the battery is therefore fully charged.
