4. OPERATING INFORMATION

In contrast to simple chargers the charging current of this automatic charger
is not constant and depends on some components, for example the actual
charging level of the battery, the age of the battery, the type of the battery and
the capacity. Also it is important how much the battery has been discharged
before.
If the battery had been discharged with high currency there will be a high
current in the beginning of the charging (max. 1.6 A), which decreases after
a short period. This means that with a rising voltage the charging current
decreases.
The charger can charge different batteries with different capacities. The bigger
the battery is, the longer the charging time will be. With smaller batteries the
charging time will be shorter.
For the charging itself it is not important if the battery is partly or completely
discharged. The battery can stay connected to the charger for a long period,
the surrounding temperature should be not higher than 50°C.
ATTENTION!
If the battery is connected with the wrong poles at the charger
the external fuse will be damaged. Replace the fuse with the same value
only (2.0 A)! If the fuse was damaged by wrong polarity, the power LED will
continue to be on. If as a consequence the connected battery is not charged,
it is obligatory to check the fuse.

5. PREPERATIONS

1.
Provide adequate ventilation in the room during charging.
2.
Do not open the cell plugs on maintenance- free lead batteries (lead-acid
batteries).
3.
Check the acid level before charging nonmaintenance- free lead batteries.
4.
Check the acid level occasionally when charging non-maintenance-free
lead batteries for a longer charging period.
5.
Check the charging procedure regularly for safety reasons.
