C) Automatic Charge Mode ("Auto Chg."); D) Recharge Rechargeable Battery Again ("Re-Peak") - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 300 TOUCH Handbuch

c) Automatic charge mode ("AUTO CHG.")

In automatic mode, the charger checks the rechargeable battery condition (e.g. the inner
resistance) and calculates the charging current from this. You need to set an upper limit for
the charging current so that the rechargeable battery is not damaged by a too-high charging
current.
Depending on the rechargeable battery and its inner resistance, shorter charging times may
be achieved in the rechargeable battery programme "AUTO CHG." than in the rechargeable
battery programme "CHARGE" (chapter 11. b).
Proceed as in the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" for setting and operation
(chapter 11. b).
The only difference is that you do not set the actual charging current, but the limit for the
maximum charging current that the charger must not exceed.

d) Recharge rechargeable battery again ("RE-PEAK")

The charger automatically ends charging of NiMH and NiCd rechargeable batteries when the
rechargeable battery is fully charged. Recognition of when the rechargeable battery is fully
charged is according to the delta U procedure.
The rechargeable battery programme "RE-PEAK" performs this recognition again. This way,
you can not only ensure that the rechargeable battery is truly fully charged, you can also check
how well the rechargeable battery can take quick charging.
Proceed as follows:
• First, charge the rechargeable battery completely (see chapter 11. b) or chapter 11. c). Then
start the rechargeable battery programme "RE-PEAK".
• After you have set the rechargeable battery data and charge current, push the button
"START" for 3 seconds.
• An input field will appear, indicating how often the recognition processes for the delta-U
charging procedure are to be performed. Set the number with the "-" and "+" buttons.
• Keep the "START" button pushed again for 3 seconds to start the rechargeable battery
programme.
The remaining operation corresponds to the rechargeable battery programme
"CHARGE" (chapter 11. b).
