Description of the charging cycle
29
Regenerating/recharging fully discharged 12V batteries
(regeneration mode)
− Connect the fully discharged battery to the charger and start the charging
process.
In this regeneration mode, the battery is charged until the charger measures a
terminal voltage that is high enough for a regular charging mode. The appliance then
switches automatically to an appropriate charging mode and continues charging.
Description of the charging cycle
Charging mode Charging step Battery voltage
6 V / 0.8 A
Fully charged At a battery voltage from 3.7 to 7.6V,
the charging process takes place
with a charging current of 0.8A
Changeover to trickle
charging
At a battery voltage ≥ 6.4V, the
battery is kept at the fully charged
level with a trickle charging current
of 50–150mA (0.05–0.15A).
Continuation of the
charging process
At a battery voltage of <6.4V, the
charging process continues with a
charging current of 0.8A.
12 V / 0.8 A
Fully charged At a battery voltage from 7.5 to 14.3V,
the charging process takes place
with a charging current of 0.8A
Changeover to trickle
charging
At a battery voltage ≥ 12.8V, the
battery is kept at the fully charged
level with a trickle charging current
of 50–150mA (0.05–0.15A).
Continuation of the
charging process
At a battery voltage of < 12.8V, the
charging process continues with a
charging current of 0.8A.
