• Overcharging inevitably reduces the capacity of the battery, so do not recharge a hot pack, or one
which has already been charged.
• Charging and discharging any battery at a high current shortens the life expectancy of the pack.
Don’t exceed the maximum values stated by the manufacturer.
• Lead-acid batteries are not capable of being charged at high currents. Never exceed the maximum
charge rate stated by the battery manufacturer.
• Protect batteries from vibration, and do not subject them to mechanical stress or shock.
• Batteries can generate explosive gas (hydrogen) when on charge and when being discharged, so it is
important to provide good ventilation.
• Do not allow batteries to come into contact with water - explosion hazard.
• Never short-circuit battery contacts - explosion hazard.
• Batteries can explode or burn, if they overheat. We suggest to use a LiPo-security hard case
Order-No. 8372 with all Li-battery types and with NiCd und NiMH-batteries for charging.
• Do not open battery cells - corrosion hazard.
• It is best to „balance“, or even up the cells in Ni-Cd and Ni-MH battery packs by first discharging all
the cells separately to 0.9...1.1V and then charging up the pack.
•
Please don’t be surprised if your batteries are not as willing to accept charge in winter as in summer.
The ability of a cold cell to accept and store charge is much lower than that of a warm one.
• Battery disposal: exhausted batteries are not ordinary household waste, and you must not dispose of
them in the domestic rubbish. The retail outlet where you purchase your batteries should have a
battery recycling container for proper disposal. Trade outlets are obliged by law to accept exhausted
batteries for disposal.
DELTA PEAK CHARGE TERMINATION for NiCd-/NiMH- Batteries:
The automatic charge termination circuit (battery full detection)
works on the proven Delta Peak principle (also known as the
Delta-V process), which is already in use in millions of chargers.
The PEAK SENSITIVITY is shown as – delta V in the graph.
