preset lowest charging rate.
If the battery is connected incorrectly, the "Error"
LED (11) will light up. In this case, unplug the
charger and check the battery and the correct
connection (also see "Troubleshooting").
4. Verify the device's preset charging voltage
(6 V or 12 V) corresponds with the connected
battery. If the charging voltage is too high, the
connected battery may be damaged/dest-
royed.
5. During the charging process, you can select
the charging voltage, the charging status in %

sing the „V / A / %" button (2) (see „Charging
