Safety
Risk of injury! Primary batteries can burst while charging. Charge only NiMH
rechargeable batteries, no primary batteries. Integrated safety shutdown
control and minus delta-V cut-o function.
A heating of rechargeable batteries and charger/adaptor while charging is
usual. Never charge corroded, damaged or leaking rechargeable batteries. Do
not open, throw into re or short-circuit rechargeable batteries and charger.
In case of damages/failure contact a VARTA dealer.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
Basic Information
Fig. 1: Description Charging Modes
- Charge = Charging
- Button to select display information (V, mA/ A, min)
- battery voltage in V
- charging current in mA/A
- charging time in minutes (min)
- charging: state of charge: 1 quarter circle=5-25%, 2=26-50%, 3= 51-75%, 4= 76-100%
- defective/wrong battery (Automatical recognition can take a few minutes)
- processing
- no symbol = failure: no contact, wrong polarity
- charging complete
Fig 2: Quick Charge Mode
- Quick Charge = fast charging mode; charges rechargeable batteries in up to 15 minutes (based on 1-2 AA 1600mAh)
Fig. 3: Refresh Mode
- Refresh = renewal of older rechargeable batteries; Inserted batteries are fully discharged and charged several times in a row (up to 5 cycles) to restore the maximum capacity of the battery. The refresh mode is finished as soon as there is no more capacity increase and the display shows “dn”.
- Charging time in minutes (min) starts from 0 after every cycle. Refresh mode starts with discharging; charging circle is solidly on
- 0%: Rechargeable battery is completely discharged and is waiting for all other cells to be discharged. As soon as all inserted batteries are discharged the charging process starts again; charging circle is flashing
- 100% flashing: Rechargeable battery is charged and waiting for all other cells to be charged. Charge- discharge cycle is repeated up to 5x
- dn (done) and 100% are alternating as soon as refresh mode is done; batteries are completely charged.
How To Use The Charger
Fig. 4: Attach cable. Charger can be used worldwide. Where necessary, use a
country-specific adapter.
Fig. 5: Insert rechargeable batteries. Both contacts of the battery must be
connected.
The relative capacity is calculated within the charger by using the charging
time and current. Due to systemic reasons, NiMH cells can provide only few
reference points for the exact determination of the state of charge.
Therefore, under certain circumstances, the percentages on the display can
change faster than expected.
- The timer protects the rechargeable batteries from overcharging. Interrupting the power supply restarts the timer. Charging control function protects the batteries from overcharging. Remove the batteries when the charger is unplugged.
