Vehicle battery charger 15 A

Test (display: "Battery full" LED flashes)

This mode checks for damage to the vehicle battery.

Gradual charging (display: "Flat" LED flashes)

Select this mode for severely discharged vehicle batteries. In this mode, the vehicle battery is prepared for "normal charging".

Desulphurisation (display: "Battery almost flat" LED flashes)

Select this mode following a longer break in operation of the vehicle battery to desulphurise it by means of pulse charges.

Normal charge/intensive charge (display: "Battery almost flat" LED flashes)

This mode charges the vehicle battery via direct current until the battery is charged to 85 % of its capacity.

Absorption (display: "Battery full" LED flashes)

This mode charges the vehicle battery with constant voltage (normal charge: 14.0 V/cold charging: 14.4 V) until the battery is charged to 98 % of its capacity.

Charged (display: "Battery full" LED flashes)

In this mode, the remaining 2 % capacity before the battery is fully charged is charged at a higher voltage (normal charge: 14.4 V/cold charging: 14.8 V) and a lower current to protect the vehicle battery.

Test (display: "Battery full" LED flashes)

If the voltage of the vehicle battery drops to 11.6 V within 10 minutes, the battery is considered defective and must be replaced.

Servicing (display: "Battery full" LED is on solidly)

This mode continuously measures voltage at 12.6 and 25.2 V. If the voltage drops, the charging process is restarted.

Intensive mode (display: "Flat" LED flashes)

This mode is used for fast charging and for severely discharged vehicle batteries. The vehicle battery is charged intensively at maximum current for 30 minutes. It is then tested to check whether normal charging is possible. If the battery voltage is still insufficient, intensive charging is carried out. This process is repeated four times at most. If this is not sufficient to charge the battery, the charger displays an error.
