backwards until the Li-ion battery fits in the slot and then
let go of the holder
6
. The Li-ion battery is now fixed in place.
NOTE
► The bowl of the holder
6
can be turned by 180° to allow you to fix Li-ion
batteries of different sizes.
♦ The charging process starts automatically as soon as the batteries have
been inserted. The operating status display

shows the current charge
status of the battery. The display also shows the current charge level of
the batteries in percent .
Operating status displays
The various displays have the following meanings:
■ The LED flashes red and green once per second: The batteries are being
alternately charged and discharged. (Refresh-Function: older or long stored
batteries are being refreshed.)
■ The LED flashes green once per second: A deeply discharged battery is be-
ing gently recharged with a reduced current.
■ The LED glows constantly red: The batteries are being charged with the maxi-
mum charge current.
■ The LED glows constantly green: The batteries are fully charged and the bat-
tery charger has switched to trickle charge.
In addition, the current charge status of each battery is shown as a percentage
on the display
.
Calculating the average charging time
Depending on the type, age and remaining charge in the batteries, the charging
process can take various lengths of time. The average charge time can be cal-
culated using the following formula. Take note however that the times given are
only guiding values.
Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries:
Charging time (min) = Battery capacity (mAh) x 1.4 x 60 + 30
Charging current of the device (mA)
Li-ion batteries:
Charging time (min) = Battery capacity (mAh) x 1.4 x 60 + 60
Charging current of the device (mA)
