Charge the battery
General remarks
CAUTION! Risk of damage when attempting to charge a faulty battery. Before
charging, ensure that the battery to be charged is fully functional.
Important! Parallel operation of consumers (car radio, etc.) is possible during the
charging process. Parallel operation of consumers may lengthen the charging time. If
the power consumed is greater than the maximum available charging current, the battery
may be drained. Ensure that the power used for additional consumers is less than the
maximum available charging current (see Technical Data).
Selecting the
mode
CAUTION! Risk of damage if mode is changed during charging. Disconnect
the charger from the mains and battery before changing the mode.
