Charging:
After you have slid the battery into the charging slot, the system checks the battery
briefly, the green signal lamp goes out, and the red signal lamps start to glow. The
automatic charging process has now started.
During the charging process, the internal temperature of the battery is monitored
continuously. If the temperature exceeds its threshold value during the charging
process, this will stop immediately. If an overheated battery is inserted into the charging
slot, the charging process only begins after the battery has cooled off. This may extend
the charging time accordingly.
In order to start the charging process directly, do not insert overheated batteries into
the charging device (e.g. batteries that were previously
discharged under extreme conditions).
During charging, voltage & current are regularly monitored. Upon reaching its
maximum capacity, the battery is immediately disconnected from the charging current.
The measurement applied in the device for internal impedance detection therefore
rules out overcharging. Therefore, a charged battery does not need to be removed
from the charging slot, but instead remains full thanks to the automatically activated
conservation mode (this compensates the self-
discharge caused by the battery’s
interior resistance). The battery is therefore always available in an optimal state. Li-Ion
batteries are charged directly in dialogue with the battery, and the final shut-off and
charge conservation is completed in dialogue with the battery or the adapter chip.
The flashing green LED indicates the availability of the battery.
This signals that:
-
the battery in the battery is fully charged
-
conservation mode is active
If you possess a battery management system (AM 5400), the blue LED indicates
instructions for use of the battery in the device. Additional detailed information is
provided in the separate use instructions.
