Properties - VOLTCRAFT Charge Manager 2016 Bedienungsanleitung

6. PROPERTIES

The „Charge Manager 2016" is a quick-charger for perfect maintenance of rechargeable
NiCd, NiMH and NiZn batteries type AA/Mignon and AAA/Micro, C/Baby, D/Mono and
9 V block. All charging and care programmes are also available for NiZn batteries of the
build AA/Mignon and AAA/Micro.
The microcomputer-controlled quick-charging process charges NiMH/NiCd/NiZn batteries
to 100%.
100% means up to 115% of the capacity indicated for new rechargeable batteries and less
than 100% of the capacity indicated for older ones.
For batteries with a capacity of less than 750 mAh, the discharge capacity (D) may not
reach 100%; this discharge value, however, must be greater than 80%. Otherwise the
battery is defective (preferably test with the „ALV" („ALIVE") programme).
This charging set does not require a discharge before starting the recharge process. The
battery is charged to the currently possible 100% from its current charge condition.
The recharging and discharging cycle is microcomputer-controlled independently of the
charge status of the battery.
Both the available charge currents and the discharge current are selected to fit the
practical conditions.
The charger has an automatic maintenance charge and energy saving mode.
The charger has an automatic battery monitoring system (charge current and charge
amount). The automatic battery detection registers if a battery is inserted or removed.
No memory effect occurs when charging (charge and discharge current are clocked). This
reduces a high internal resistance of the battery and increases its current carrying
capacity.
The efficiency of the batteries is improved (ratio of the required charge quantity to the
capacity that can be delivered).
