and the charging current is reduced until it is
below a defined level. The charge voltage then
drops to 13,8V/13,5V depending on the selected
charge program, before the long-term charging
phase starts.
During charging, battery charge is shown by the
number of LEDs illuminated. The blinking segment
above these LEDs indicates active charging. Once
full battery charge is reached, all 5 LED segments
remain illuminated.
If the measured battery voltage is below
2.0V, the charger will enter Error Mode. If Lithuim
charging program is selected the charger will start
from 0V.
Post Analysis
The charger analyses the battery again after the
charging phase. If the charger detects an error in
the battery, the warning triangle will flash. Post
analysis can detect batteries with a short circuit in
individual cells. This cannot be detected in the pre
analysis. If the battery voltage drops below 12.0V
within 2min, the charger will go into error mode.
The charging sequence will be stopped.
Long-term charging
240 hours after the battery is fully charged, the
charger will go in to Sleep Mode. This is indicated
by all battery LEDs slowly pulsating. This mode
has a very low power consumption.
After a week in Sleep Mode, the charger will
wake up and begin a new charging cycle.
The charger will also wake up and start a
charging cycle if battery voltage drops below 12.6V.
