Q Regenerating / charging empty (used, overcharged) batteries
If the charging station is connected to a battery and the charging process starts it automatically rec- ognises the battery voltage. It changes to pulse charging mode if the voltage is in the range of 7.5 V ± 0.5 to 10.5 V ± 0.5 V.
This pulse charging process is continued until the battery voltage has increased to 10.5 V ± 0.5 V. As soon as this condition is reached, the charging sta- tion changes over to the previously selected normal charging mode.
Now the battery can be charged quickly and safely. Most empty batteries can be charged and used again using this procedure.
QProtective function of the device
If a unexpected situation should occur, such as short circuiting, battery voltage below 7.5 V, open circuit or reversed connection of the output terminals, the charging station deactivates the electronic system and immediately switches back to basic position to avoid damage.
If you do not activate any settings, the system will remain in STANDBY mode. With the inverse con- nection of the output clamps the LED display „in-
correct polarity / fault“ 
5 lights up additionally.
Q Overheatingprotection
If the appliance becomes too hot during charging, the power output is automatically reduced. This protects the appliance from damage.
