IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!
The US 800 cannot be used to restore a fully worn out battery. If the US 800 does not
switch to maintenance charge after three days (green light illuminated), there is a fault.
Possible causes:
The battery is probably worn out and should be replaced.
Some large antimony batteries may behave differently and can allow the US 800 to
charge the battery for too long, which can lead to overcharging. See caution!

charging process takes a particularly long time. A worn out battery cannot be fully
charged. Therefore you should always check whether the charger has been switched to
maintenance charge before you leave it turned on or unobserved for any length of time.
Caution:
If the US 800 does not switch to maintenance mode after three days, it has
to be manually disconnected. If the set has been switched to maintenance charge, then
everything is in order.
