• Retention charge
As described under programmes, this appliance features the automatic retention charge.
Depending on the voltage drop of the battery, caused by self-discharge, the appliance reacts with
different charge currents.
The battery can remain connected to the charger for longer periods of time.
• Appliance protection function
The charger switches the electronics off and switches the system instantly to the basic setting, as
soon as there is an abnormal situation, such as short circuit, critical voltage drop during charging,
broken circuit or swapped connection of the connector clamps is detected.
Should the appliance become too hot during charging, the output current is automatically
reduced. This protects the appliance from damage.
