Lupine Charger One Bedienungsanleitung Seite 5

Operation
Charging:
The charger is now ready for use. Plug the battery into the charger. The charging process will start auto-
matically and the following message will appear on the first line of the display: "ABCDE charge" (where
ABCDE stands for the type of battery selected).
Battery voltage Charging current in amperes
Note: The actual capacity of a rechargeable battery can only be determined when the battery is actually
used. The value displayed is calculated on the basis of the aggregate charging current during the charging
period, and thus factors in all power loss that occurs during the charging process as a matter of course.
Hence the value shown during the charging process is always higher than the nominal capacity of a new
battery and does not necessarily provide an accurate indication of actual battery life. During the charging
process, Charger One monitors the voltage and charging status of the connected battery, and manages
charging voltage and current in accordance with this data and the selected charging program. During the
initial phase of charging a completely discharged battery with low battery voltage (normally far below
8.2 V), the charging current will jump quickly to 2.5 A and will remain at that level for a relatively lengthy
period. By the time the battery voltage rises above 8 V in the latter stages of the charging process (or
when a low battery is being charged), the charging current will have gone below 1 A, and the battery will
be almost fully charged.
Although the final stage of the charging process is relatively lengthy compared to the remaining
chargeable capacity, this process makes for a battery that is fully charged and whose total capacity
is fully usable. If the battery is disconnected from the charger prior to this final stage, the battery's
life will be a good 10 percent shorter than would otherwise be the case.
Once the battery is charged to the brim, "LiIon full" will appear on the display.

Charged capacity in ampere hours
The battery is now fully charged. You can either disconnect it from the
charger and begin using it immediately, or simply leave it connected to
the charger until the next use.

12 V charging cable
The 12 V charging cable enables you to charge
Charger One in your car, mobile home or the
like. Please note that when you start the engi-
ne, "Error" may appear on the device display.
In such a case, reconnect the charger to the 12
V power supply.
