Charging Profile The charger begins charging with a constant current until the voltage reaches 14.4V (at 25°C). The charge voltage is then held constant at 14.4V and the charging current is reduced until it is below a predefined level. The charge voltage then drops to 13.8V, before the long-term charging stage starts. During charging, the battery charge is shown by the number of LEDs illuminated; The blinking segment above these LEDs indicates active charging.
Additional charger functionality Temperature based voltage compensation The charger automatically adjusts the charging voltage to the correct level according to the ambient temperature. The default ambient temperature is 25°C. Voltage is reduced for higher ambient temperatures and increased for lower ambient temperatures by ±0.03V/°C. Max temperature compensate charging voltage is 15.3 V. 14.7V button Some batteries require a higher charging voltage than other batteries. If the 14.
Automatic restart after mains supply interruption If the mains supply is temporarily interrupted, the charger will continue charging when the power supply returns.
