Charging the Battery

Pay attention to the mains voltage.

The voltage of the

power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the charger.

The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that al-
lows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C
and 35 °C. In this manner, a high battery service life is
achieved.

Note:

The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure

full battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not cause damage to the battery.
The “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)” protects the lithium-
ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is
empty, the product is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The product no longer operates.

Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after an auto-
matic shut-off of the product.

The battery could become

damaged.
Observe the notes for disposal of the battery.

Charging Procedure

The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of
the charger is plugged into a socket outlet and the battery

(2)

is inserted onto the charger

(12)

Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-
tion of the battery is automatically detected and the battery
is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on
battery temperature and voltage.
This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully
charged when kept in the charger for storage.

Solid light on battery charge indicator

solid light

on the battery charge indicator

signals that the battery is fully charged or that

permitted charging temperature range, and

can therefore not be charged. The battery is charged as soon
as the allowable charging temperature range is reached.
When the battery is not inserted, a

solid light

on the battery

charge indicator signals that the mains plug is inserted in the
plug socket and that the charger is ready for operation.

Meaning of the Indication Elements
(AL 1830 CV)
