Select charging mode
Select a charging mode depending on the battery type and ambient temperature.
You can also recharge a completely discharged battery (Page 21).
The charger’s electronics start the charging process after connecting the battery in the
6 V or 12 V standard charging mode—depending on the battery type.
− To select a charging mode, press the
MODE
1
button several times. The
symbol of the respective mode will be shown on the display
2
.
− The charger recognises the standard 6 V or 12 V charging mode suitable for the
battery type. Therefore, not every mode can be selected for every battery.
− After selecting a mode, the charger implements it. Now the display indicates the
current voltage. If a battery remains attached to the charger once charging is
complete, the charger automatically switches to trickle charging. The battery is
also trickle charged if another mode is selected.
Status displays
• While the appliance is switched on, the background lighting is blue.
• During charging, the selected charging mode, the current battery voltage and
the charge level of the battery are displayed.
• During faulty appliance use (e.g. by short circuit), fault symbols are displayed,
and the appliance will switch to standby mode if applicable (see also “Protection
against wrong polarity” on page 23.).
