Environmental safety: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. Dispose of defective batteries

Battery Analysis
Every charging compartment is equipped with an LCD display. Running, increasing segments and the numerical
capacity indicator (Ah) inform you about the capacity and condition of all batteries, relative to one another.
Cells within one battery pack or group with capacity values significantly below the values of the other cells should
be replaced, as the cell with the lowest capacity determines the performance of the battery pack or battery group.
Thus, the AV4
is also a battery analyser. Bad batteries will be recognized and may be replaced individually
instead of replacing the entire battery pack. This protects the environment and your purse.
