Properties Of The Charger - VOLTCRAFT CHARGE MANAGER 2024 Bedienungsanleitung

7. PROPERTIES OF THE CHARGER

The „Charge Manager 2024" 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 625 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 „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 independent of
the charge status of the battery.
Thanks to the simple operation, the settings can be made very quickly, and the large graphical blue-lit LC display
permits well-structured reading of all values.
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).
All settings are retained for up to one week without power supply thanks to the memory backup.
The USB connection can be used to control the charger via the software that belongs to the charger (can be down-
loaded free of charge and always up to date from www.conrad.com), evaluate the charging/discharging curves and
other data on the PC and archive or print them.
Data recording in CSV format on an SD/SDHC memory card is possible autonomously without a PC as well.
