Charging Mode - VOLTCRAFT IPC-1 Bedienungsanleitung

c) Charging mode
• When a rechargeable battery is inserted and the power adapter is connected to the mains,
the battery voltage (for example, "1.39V") will be displayed for 4 seconds. "200 mA Charge"
will then be shown on the display for another 4 seconds if the settings are not changed.
• The default setting of the charger is in charging mode with 200mA charging current.
• For faster charging, press "CURRENT" button to select charging current of 200, 500 or 700
mA. 200 mA is the default charging current of the charger.
The maximum charging current of other rechargeable batteries are restricted by
the current setting of the first inserted rechargeable battery. For instance, if the first
inserted rechargeable battery is set to charge at 500 mA, then the second, third and
fourth rechargeable batteries can be only set to charging at a maximum current of 500
mA. Therefore, user is recommended to place the battery with the highest expected
charging current first. To release the restriction of charging current limit, take out all
four rechargeable batteries from the charging unit and re-insert them.
Within 8-second time from inserting the batteries the user may first select the
operating mode by the "MODE" button.
If "MODE" or "CURRENT" button is not pressed for 8 seconds the charging
process will start. Afterward, the charging current can no longer be changed.
Press "DISPLAY" button to scroll through different displays, charging current (mA), battery
voltage (V), accumulated capacities (mAh) or time elapsed (hh:mm).

Charging time
• The charging time can be determined by dividing the battery capacity by the selected
charging current.
• For Example,
• AA (Micro) battery with 2400mAh and selected charging current is 700mA.
• (2400 ÷ 700) hour = 3.5 hour. = 3 hours 30 minutes charging time.
