1. or other battery types must not be plugged in or charged Another mode of operation other than the one specified is not allowed and results in the damage of the product In addition this is linked with dangers such as short circuit firing electric shock etc Specifications The I U charging concept charges the lead battery with constant current of 600 mA 0 6A until the end of charge voltage is reached for the respective battery The charger recognises this and switches to constant current in order to adjust the charging current down Maintenance charger The battery charger is therefore maintained at an ideal level As a result the battery can be plugged into the charger for a longer period of time This is the reason why this device is suitable for over wintering The luminous display on the charger always gives information on the current operating status The plug charger is protected against overcharge and short term short circuit lt I min The polarity on the charging output must be taken into consideration A protective circuit avoids charging in case of incorrect poling that could destroy the battery as well as the charger Incorrect poling will be indicated by a red light The connection is carried out by marked battery terminal clamps By means of safety switching the charging clamps conduct no electric charge as long as they are not connected to a battery It is therefore not possible to measure the current on the open ch2. time e the battery type e the charging condition of the battery full partly charged flat e the ambience temperature e the general condition age of the battery The charging time is based on the above parameters and can roughly be calculated according to the following formula for a rough time estimation Capacity of the battery in Ah Charging time in hours h x 1 4 Charge current 0 6A Example Lead gel battery 12 Ah flat 12 Ah x 1 4 the charging time amounts 0 6 A to approx 28 h Towards the end of the charging process battery is full the yellow LED loading usually switches off Older or high capacity batteries may show an extremely high self discharge approx 1 of the battery capacity and the plug connector may not recognize this elevated conservation charge current as a completed charging cycle yellow LED display is not switched off In this case the plug connector works as a buffer to compensate the self discharge of the battery Generally as for more recent batteries the LED switches off once the battery if fully charged Batteries of different capacities can be charged bigger batteries have a longer charging time whereas smaller batteries have a shorter one As far as the charging process is concerned it does not make any difference whether the battery is partly or fully discharged The batteries may also remain connected to the charger the ambience temperature should not exceed ap
