Charging mode Charging step Battery voltage
12 V / 5 A /
COLD
Continuous charging At a battery voltage of 14.1V to 14.8V,
the charging process continues with
a charging current of 3.0A.
At a battery voltage of 14.8V to 15.5V,
the charging process continues with
a charging current of 0.8 A.
Changeover to trickle
charging
At a battery voltage of ≥ 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.
Protection against wrong polarity
The appliance is protected against improper start-up. In case of a faulty connection
or if the battery voltage falls below 7.5V for 12V batteries and below 3.7V for 6V
batteries, the appliance remains in standby mode.
• In the event that the terminals have the wrong polarity (are connected
incorrectly),
