Frequently Asked Questions - Comfort Smart ANSMANN

What types of batteries can I charge with this charger?

This charger is designed for rechargeable NiMH batteries of types Micro AAA (up to 1100 mAh), Mignon AA (up to 3000 mAh) and 9V block (up to 300 mAh). Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

How long does it take to charge a 2500 mAh AA battery?

The typical charging time for a 2500 mAh AA battery is approximately 5.5 hours with a charging current of 650 mA. Times vary depending on battery capacity and condition.

How does the discharge function work?

The discharge function is optional and only for button cells. Press the Discharge button before charging. The inserted batteries are fully discharged, then charging starts automatically.

Can I charge different types of batteries at the same time?

Yes, you can combine different types (AAA, AA) and different capacities, except when charging a 9V block: the two middle compartments for button cells must remain empty.

What should I do if the LCD screen does not light up?

Check that the charger is properly connected to a working outlet. If the problem persists, test another outlet. Also ensure that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.

How to clean the charger?

Before cleaning, unplug the charger and remove all batteries. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth (possibly with a little mild dish soap). Never use abrasive products or solvents.

What does the error message on the screen mean?

The Error display may indicate a defective battery, reversed polarity, or a non-rechargeable battery. Check the polarity and replace the battery if necessary. The charger automatically detects defective batteries.

Can I use the charger while traveling?

Yes, the charger operates on a wide voltage range (100-240 V AC), making it compatible with most outlets worldwide. Do not use the device permanently with a travel adapter.

Can I leave the batteries in the charger after charging?

Yes, once charging is complete, the charger automatically switches to maintenance charging to keep the batteries at full capacity without overcharging. You can leave them in place safely.

What is the warranty of this charger?

Ansmann offers a 3-year warranty on the device, provided the product is used in accordance with the instruction manual. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper use.

OVERVIEW OF FUNCTIONS

Quick charger for 1- 4 NiMH batteries of the sizes Micro AAA /

Mignon AA or 1-2x AAA/AA and one 9VE-Block NiMH

Microprocessor controlled charging with single cell monitoring

Automatic start of charging and charging current adjustment after insertion of the batteries with correct polarity

Status display by a 4-segment LCD symbol per charging bay

Defective battery detection

Worldwide usable (100-240V AC)

For round cells:

Discharge function selectable

Intelligent "PERFECT 7 CHARGING" function (SEE PAGE 2):

1. Capacity quick test: Residual capacity is determined before charging begins and displayed for 5 seconds
2. Gentle pre-charging: Weak or deeply discharged battery is pre-charged with lower current if necessary
3. Battery analysis: Battery behavior is analyzed and evaluated to determine whether it is still reliably usable or defective
4. Quick charge: Battery is charged at maximum current

5. IQ switch-off: Intelligent monitoring of the battery for reliable charging and multiple protection against overcharging

6. Top-off charge: Ensures that the battery is gently charged to 100% capacity

7. Trickle charge: Battery is kept in a fully charged state by means of charging pulses

For 9V E-Block:

Capacity quick test, Charging, Time-controlled cut-off, trickle charging

OPERATION

NORMAL CHARGING PROCESS CHARGING PROCESS WITH PRE-DISCHARGE *1
Connect the charger to an electrical outlet.
Insert the battery into the charging slot with the correct polarity (see engraving in the charging slot).
The product displays the charge status of the battery for 5 seconds and then automatically starts the charging process.
	Press the Discharge button.
	Pre-discharge starts for all inserted round cells
	After all round cells have been discharged, the charging process starts automatically.
As soon as a battery is fully charged, the charger switches to trickle charge.
You can now remove the fully charged battery.
After all batteries have been removed, disconnect the product from the power supply.

*1 Discharge function only for round cells

NOTE: It is not necessary to discharge batteries before each charge. We recommend pre-discharging after approx. 10 charging processes to prevent the lazy-battery effect, which reduces the discharge voltage of batteries. This effect occurs if NiMH batteries are often only partially discharged and then recharged.
