Base Charge Mode

In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the circuitry to work. There are three conditions during which power can be supplied to the base:

Condition 1: 9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector

Condition 2: 12VDC host power source only

Condition 3: 5VDC host power source only

The chart below describes each selection by condition.

	Condition 1	Condition 2	Condition 3
Automatic	Fast Charge	Slow Charge	No Charge
Full Charge Rate	Fast Charge	Fast Charge	No Charge
Low Charge Rate	Slow Charge	Slow Charge	No Charge
Battery Charge Off	No Charge	No Charge	No Charge

Using a slow charge rate draws less current (power) from the input power source when the battery is mostly discharged.

Scan the appropriate bar code for your application. Default = Automatic.
