The charger has an automatic maintenance charge and energy saving mode. The charger has an automatic battery
monitoring system (charge current and charge amount). The automatic battery detection registers if a battery is
inserted or removed.
Nomemoryeffectoccurswhencharging(chargeanddischargecurrentareclocked).Thisreducesahighinternal

The USB connection can be used to control the charger via the software that belongs to the charger (can be down-
loaded free of charge and always up to date from www.conrad.com), evaluate the charging/discharging curves and
other data on the PC and archive or print them.
Data recording in CSV format on an SD/SDHC memory card is possible autonomously without a PC as well.
