VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 300 TOUCH Handbuch Seite 86

• Another input window appears when you
push the button "MORE".
Set the voltage where the delta-U charging
procedure recognises a fully charged
rechargeable battery for "DELTA PEAK
SENSOR".
If the value is set too high, the charger
may not recognise that the rechargeable
battery is fully charged. The protection
circuit for the charge duration or the
maximum capacity usually trips here
(if set correctly).
If the value is set too low, the charge will switch off too early and the rechargeable bat-
tery will not be fully charged.
Change the voltage in steps and check the charging process. Due to the many different
rechargeable batteries, it is not possible to suggest a perfect value.
• In the setting "DISCHARGE END VOLT.", the cell voltage at which the discharge process is
completed can be set.
• For "TRICKLE", you can set the maintenance charge current. When a NiMH or NiCd
rechargeable battery is fully charged, it will lose part of its capacity again by self-discharge.
The maintenance charging current (short charging impulses, no continuous charging
current!) ensures that the rechargeable battery remains fully charged. Thus also prevents
crystal formation in the rechargeable battery.
• "BACK" will take you back to the respective prior menu.
• If you push the button "START" for the duration of 3 seconds, the charger will review the
connected rechargeable battery (the display will show "CHECK BATTERY.....").
Charging starts when everything is OK.
If errors are found (e.g. if no rechargeable battery is connected), the corresponding message
will be displayed. The button "BACK" will return you to the previous menu in that case.
• When charging is complete, the charger will emit a sound and a summary of the charging
process will appear.
