Frequently Asked Questions - VL7198 VELLEMAN
What types of batteries can I charge with the VL7198?
The charger accepts Ni-Cd and Ni-MH rechargeable batteries of type AA, AAA, as well as packs for cell phones and video cameras with voltages 4.8 V, 6 V or 7.2 V. Use the appropriate adapter.
How to use the reconditioning mode?
Place the batteries, turn on the charger, then press and hold the DISCHARGE button for at least 5 seconds until the READY LED flashes three times. The charger will automatically perform 3 discharge/recharge cycles.
What do the LED indicators mean?
The LEDs indicate: SPEED (Slow/Normal/Fast), CHARGE (in progress), DISCHARGE, 40% and 80% (charge level), READY (battery full or process complete). In test mode, they light up in a specific order.
Can I use the charger in a car?
Yes, plug the DC plug into the cigarette lighter (12 V). The AC/DC power supply is included.
How long does it take to charge AA batteries?
The time depends on the capacity and the speed chosen. For example, 2000 mAh batteries in Fast mode (1000 mA) take about 2 hours. Use Slow mode for low capacity batteries (under 600 mAh).
What if the charger does not detect the battery?
Check that the adapter is correctly inserted and that the batteries are properly in place. Make sure the batteries are compatible (Ni-Cd or Ni-MH). If the problem persists, perform an automatic test mode (without batteries) to check the charger.
How to clean the charger?
Unplug it before any cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth. Never use chemicals or liquids.
Is it safe to leave batteries charging after they are full?
Yes, the charger automatically switches to standby mode once charging is complete to maintain maximum capacity without overcharging. The READY LED then flashes.
Can I charge batteries of different brands?
Yes, as long as they are Ni-Cd or Ni-MH type and compatible in voltage (4.8-7.2 V). Use the adapter suitable for the brand/model.
How to perform the automatic test mode?
Without batteries, plug in the power supply. Press and hold the DISCHARGE button, then plug in the charger. Release the button: the LEDs should light up in the order indicated in the manual to confirm proper operation.
