General ( V 41 ) : 

The Charger One was developed for use with Lupine high current Li-Ion rechargeable batteries, 
but it is also fully compatible with all other Ni-MH Lupine rechargeables). 

 

Out of the box, the Charger One is set to charge the specific battery type the lighting system is 
supplied with. Although the Charger One can easily be set to your individual settings, it is 

not 

necessary

. Please do not attempt to program the charger until you are used to operating the 

Charger One and you have read and understood this Technical Information. 
 

All  pictures  shown  below  demonstrate  the  charging  of  a  Li-Ion  rechargeable.  For 
NiMH  batteries  ensure  the  display  reads  "NiMH"    instead  of  Li-Ion  when  charging 
these battery types. 
 
In  the  instructions  below,  "

battery  type

"  is  used  to  represent  the  actual  type  of 

battery (Li-ion, NiMH ).  

 

 

Components: 

The charging system "Charger One" consists of two components: 
 

-

 

AC/DC adaptor 

-

 

Charger One with microprocessor controlled charger 

 
The  AC/DC  adaptor  accepts  100V~  –  264V~  from  the  mains  and  deliveres  12V=  /  2A  to  the 
charger. 
 

 

Connection:  

Plug the AC/DC adaptor into the mains. Plug the adaptor into the socket of the Charger One. 
After a short initialisation the display will show: "

battery type

 ready for charge". 

 

 

 
The  Charger  One  is  set  to  default  to  the  charge  the  type  of  battery  the  lighting  system  is 
supplied  with.  By 

pressing

  the  select  button  you  can  toggle  between  the  various  charging 

programs  (see  chapter  "Programming  the  Charger  One").  The  Charger  will  always  start  with 
the program that was last selected before the charger was removed from the power supply. 

 
Charging: 

The Charger One is now ready to charge. Just plug your rechargeable battery to the Charger 
One    and  charging  starts  automatically.  The  first  line  of  the  display  shows:  "

battery  type

 

charge". 
(Remember: 

battery type

 stands for the respective type of the rechargeable battery!)
