- Only after connecting the terminals, the device is connected to the electric network with a voltage of 220 V. A red glow will appear on the indicator above the inscription “Mode”. This means that the battery has started to charge.
- Next, the battery is charged in automatic mode.
- When the battery reaches the bulk of the charge, it will go into automatic switching mode. Depending on wear, the battery gains from 70 to 90 percent of the charge.
- In order for the acb to gain a full 100%, it must be allowed to work in the switching mode. The indicator will blink at this time from red to green or orange. If the old battery stays in this mode for a while, it can restore its characteristics.
- After charging, you must disconnect the device from the network and remove the terminals. Wipe the clamps and terminals with a damp and then dry rag.
