The maximum possible charging current depends on the battery type and number of cells. The max. charge
output is 50 W, which may reduce the actual charge current later.
• Confirm the set charging current with the "START/ENTER" button.
• The number of the cells in the lower right of the display flashes. Set the number of the cells with the buttons "INC"
and "DEC". Keep the respective button pressed for quick adjustment.
• Confirm the number of the cells by pressing the "START/ENTER" button.
• When no display is flashing anymore, start charging by keeping the "START/ENTER" button pushed (approx.
3 seconds).
If the settings are wrong, or if the charger detects a problem, an audio signal is emitted and the appropriate
information is shown on the display. You can stop the warning signal by pressing the "BATT. TYPE/STOP"
button. The charger then returns to the previous configuration menu.
The display shows, e.g., the following data while charging:
The rechargeable battery type is shown in the upper left ("P" = lead
battery), as well as the cell number; the upper middle shows the charging
current and the upper right the current rechargeable battery voltage.
The lower left shows the current rechargeable battery programme ("CHG" = "CHARGE"), in the middle the
elapsed charging time and the charged capacity in mAh are displayed to the right of this.
• Once the charging process has been completed, an audio signal is emitted (if it was not turned off).
If you wish to cancel the charging process, push the "BATT. TYPE/STOP" button.
c) Discharging Rechargeable Batteries ("DISCHARGE")
This rechargeable battery program can be used to put partially charged lead batteries into a defined starting condi-
tion or to perform a measurement of the rechargeable battery capacity.
The maximum possible discharging current depends on the battery type, battery capacity and number of
cells. The max. discharge output of the charger is 5 W. This limits the max. possible discharge current of
rechargeable batteries with multiple cells.
Proceed as follows to discharge a lead battery:
• First, choose the rechargeable battery type "Pb Battery" with the button "INC" or "DEC" as described in chapter
13. a), then briefly push the button "START/ENTER".
• Select the rechargeable battery programme "DISCHARGE" with the button
"INC" or "DEC".
The set rechargeable battery type is shown in the upper left of the display,
and the rechargeable battery programme next to it.
The value on the lower left shows the currently set discharging current, the value on the right shows the voltage or
number of cells of the lead battery (in this example, a 2-cell lead battery (6 x 2.0 V = 12.0 V)).
Use the button "INC" or "DEC" to select a different rechargeable battery programme; use the button
"BATT. TYPE/STOP" to return to the main menu.
• If the value for the discharging current must be changed, briefly push the "START/ENTER" button. The discharg-
ing current flashes.
