Frequently Asked Questions - ACS 15 PlusEU METABO

What types of batteries can the ACS 15 PlusEU charge?

It can charge NiCd and NiMH battery packs (4.8 V - 18 V, 1.25 Ah - 4 Ah) and Li-ion battery packs (7.2 V - 18 V, 1.1 Ah - 3 Ah). With the optional adapter (ref. 6.27076), it can also charge wet vehicle starter batteries 6 V or 12 V (20 Ah - 100 Ah).

How to use the refresh mode?

Insert a NiCd or NiMH battery pack into the slot. Press the refresh mode button (4) until the indicator (5) flashes. The cycle lasts about 8 h for NiMH and 12 h for NiCd. Do not use more than once per month per battery.

What does the fault indicator lit steady mean?

The battery pack is not charging because its temperature is outside the range 0 °C - 50 °C. Place it in an environment at room temperature; charging will start automatically as soon as the temperature is acceptable.

What does the flashing fault indicator mean?

This indicates either a defective battery pack (remove it immediately), a short circuit between the charging contacts (check that no foreign object is present), or for a Li-ion battery: the display button was pressed during charging (remove the battery and press its button outside of charging).

Can I leave the battery on the charger after charging?

Yes, the charger automatically switches to maintenance mode. The operation indicator remains lit steady. The battery remains available at all times. However, do not leave the battery in the unplugged charger, as it could fully discharge and become damaged.

How to charge a Li-ion battery with this device?

Insert the battery into the slot (1) until it stops. Use an adapter if necessary. The operation indicator flashes during charging. Charging stops automatically. To display the charge level, remove the battery and press its button.

Can I charge non-rechargeable batteries?

No, never try to charge non-rechargeable batteries. This presents a danger of explosion.

How to maintain the charger?

Clean it with a dry cloth. Ensure the ventilation slots are clear (minimum distance of 5 cm from other objects). Repairs must only be carried out by an authorized specialist.

What adapter is needed to charge a vehicle starter battery?

The charging adapter 6.27076 (sold separately) is required. It is suitable for 6 V or 12 V wet batteries with a capacity of at least 20 Ah.

How to recycle the charger at end of life?

Do not dispose of it in household waste. In accordance with European directive 2002/96/EC, used electrical appliances must be taken to a separate collection point to be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.

8 Use

8.1 Charging battery pack

Insert battery pack up to the stop in the charging compartment (1). If necessary, use an adapter for the battery pack (available as accessory).

A battery pack that is new or has not been used for some time only reaches full capacity after being charged and discharged several times.

The operating indicator (2) flashes.

Note: To have the charge level displayed on Li-lon battery packs (with 14.4 V and 18 V), first take the battery pack out of the charger and then press the button on the battery pack.

8.2 Conservation charge

Once the charging process has finished, the battery charger automatically switches to conservation mode.

The battery pack can remain in the battery charger and is therefore always ready for use. However, never leave the battery pack in a disconnected battery charger because of the possibility of exhaustive discharge and damage to the battery cells.

100%

The operating indicator (2) lights up continuously.

8.3 Refresh mode (ACS 15 Plus only)

The NiCd and NiMH battery packs may discharge naturally by themselves and the cells in the battery pack may assume different charging states. The full power of a battery pack may no longer be available as a result.

If you suspect that the battery is suffering from this effect, you can use refresh mode to restore full battery pack power corresponding to the battery age.

Only for NiCd and NiMH battery packs - not for Li-Ion battery packs and vehicle starter batteries. Use a maximum of once a month

for each battery pack.

1) Insert battery pack up to the stop in the charging compartment (1). If necessary, use an adapter for the battery pack (available as accessory).

2) Press the refresh mode button (4) until the refresh mode indicator (5) flashes.

Refresh mode ends automatically after approx. 8 hours for NiMH battery packs or after approx. 12 hours for NiCd battery packs. The battery pack is then fully charged.

Note: The battery pack can be removed from the charger at any time, thereby interrupting refresh mode.

When the operating indicator (2) lights up continuously, this signals the end of refresh mode. The battery pack can remain in the battery charger and is therefore always ready for use.

8.4 Charging vehicle starter batteries (ACS 15 Plus only)

Only suitable for 6V or 12V wet batteries with a minimum of 20 Ah.

Vehicle starter batteries can be charged in combination with the charging adapter 6.27076 (not included in scope of delivery). Read the directions for use and safety instructions accompanying the charger adapter.
