Functions

The charger has different charging modes to choose from based on the battery type, battery condition and the environmental conditions. The charging modes are activated based on the detected battery voltage.

The charger features a micro-computer unit (MCU). After selecting the desired charging mode the charger will recognise the battery connected (voltage, capacity, condition) and compute the necessary charging parameters (charging voltage, charging current). This allows for efficient and safe charging. When selecting a charging mode not suitable for the battery or if the battery is defective, the charging cycle still not start. The charger switches to error indicator.

The "trickle charge" function allows the charger to be permanently connected. A full charge will be maintained.
