a) Rechargeable Battery Programmes
The„ChargeManager2024“providesatotalofsixrechargeablebatteryprogrammesforprocessingtherecharge-
ablebatteries:
• Recharging(„RCH“=„RECHARGE“)
• Discharge(„DIS“=„DISCHARGE“)
• Testedcharging(„PCH“=„PROCHARGE“)
• Cycle(„CYC“=„CYCLE“)
• Revive(„ALV“=„ALIVE“)
• Maximise(„MAX“=„MAXIMIZE“)
b) Maintenance Charge
Iftherechargeablebatteryisleftinthechargeranditisrequired,themaintenanceprogramme„TRICKLE“(display
„TRI“)isstartedautomatically.
c) Energy Saving Mode
Ifallprogrammesareprocessed(display„RDY“)andthewheelencoderisnotpushed,thechargerswitchesinto
energy saving mode after approx. one minute. The display is also switched off in this. Pressing the wheel encoder,
inserting another cell, possibly removing cells or starting the maintenance charge will lead to leaving of the energy
savings mode.
If there is a USB connection from a PC to the charger, the charger will not switch to power saving mode.
