• After completion of charging, an audio signal is emitted (if it has not been turned off).
If you wish to cancel the charging process, push the "BATT. TYPE/STOP" button.
c) Automatic Charge Mode ("Auto CHARGE")
In automatic charge mode, the charger checks the condi-
tion of the connected rechargeable battery (e.g. the inner
resistance) and calculates the charging current from this.
You need to set an upper limit for the charging current so
that the rechargeable battery is not damaged by a too-
high charging current.
Depending on the rechargeable battery and its inner resistance, shorter charging times may
be achieved in the rechargeable battery programme "Auto CHARGE" than in the rechargeable
battery programme "CHARGE" (chapter 12. b).
Proceed as in the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" for setting and opera-
tion (chapter 12. b).
The only difference is that you do not set the actual charging current, but the limit for
the maximum charging current that the charger must not exceed for reasons of safety.
d) Recharge Rechargeable Battery Again ("RE-PEAK")
The charger automatically ends charging of NiMH and NiCd rechargeable batteries when the
rechargeable battery is fully charged. Recognition of when the rechargeable battery is fully
charged is according to the delta-U procedure.
The rechargeable battery programme "RE-PEAK" performs this recognition again. This way, you
can not only ensure that the rechargeable battery is truly fully charged, you can also check how
well the rechargeable battery can take quick charging.
First, charge the rechargeable battery completely (see chapter 12. b) or chapter 12. c)). Then
start the rechargeable battery programme "RE-PEAK".
Proceed as follows:
• Set the rechargeable battery type as described in chap -
ter 12. a) (NiMH or NiCd) and select the rechargeable
battery programme "RE-PEAK".
The value in the lower right means the number of the recognition processes.
Use the buttons "INC" and "DEC" to select a different rechargeable battery pro-
gramme; use the button "BATT. TYPE/STOP" to return to the main menu.
