B) Charging Batteries ("Charge") - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 300 TOUCH Handbuch

b) Charging batteries ("CHARGE")

The charging current to be set depends on the battery capacity and is usually 0.1C (also see
chapter 7). High-quality lead batteries also can stand a charging current up to 0.4C. However,
you should always observe the battery manufacturer's instructions.
The value "0.1C" means that the charging current is equivalent to one-tenth of the
rechargeable battery's capacity. For a lead battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh (= 5 Ah)
the charging current at 0.1C must be set to 0.5 A.
Proceed as follows to charge a lead battery:
• First select the rechargeable battery type in
the main menu, as described in chapter
12. a) ("Pb").
• Select the cell number in "CELLS" with the
buttons "-" and "+".
• Push the button ">" in "MODE" repeatedly
until the mode "CHARGE" is displayed.
• For "CURRENT", use the buttons "-" and "+"
to set the charge current. Keep the respective
button pressed for quick adjustment.
