5 Charging characteristics
The CPC charger contains 15 different charging characteristics which you can
select before connecting to the battery. Battery charging is fully automatic
and micro-processor controlled with a 3-stage IU

characteristic curve for
gentle and optimum charging of the batteries.

Charging Characteristic
I phase: Charging with constant current
Depending on the battery charge state, the battery is charged with maximum
charging current to store as much energy as possible in the battery. After
reaching the set main charging voltage, the charger switches to the next char-
ging phase (U
1
). If the set main voltage is not reached within max. 10 hours,
the unit enters the U
2
phase and reports an error.
NOTE!
Deep discharged batteries with a voltage below 6 V or 12 V are not
charged for safety reasons.
