3. OPERATING INFORMATION

In contrast to simple chargers the charging current of this automatic charger is not
constant and depends on some components, for example the actual charging
level of the battery, the age of the battery, the type of the battery and the
capacity. Also it is important how much the battery has been discharged before.
If the battery had been discharged with high currency then there will be in the
beginning of the charging a high current (max. 0.3A), which decreases after a
short period. This means that with rising voltage the charging current decreases.
The following diagram shows this behavior:

For the charging itself it is not important if the battery is partly or completely
discharged. The battery can stay connected to the charger for a long period,
the surrounding temperature should be in the range of –25°C to 40°C. In case
the battery has been connected to the charger with the wrong polarity then this
will be indicated through a red light („Verpolt"). Disconnect the battery from
the charger immediately.
