7 Operation

7.1

Charging battery pack

Insert battery pack up to the stop in the
charging compartment (1). If necessary, use
an adapter for the battery pack (available as
accessory).
A battery pack that is new or has not been
used for some time only reaches full capacity
after being charged and discharged several
times.
The operating indicator (2) flashes.
Note: To have the charge level displayed on
Li-Ion battery packs (with 14.4 V and 18 V),
first take the battery pack out of the charger
and then press the button on the battery pack.
7.2

Conservation charge

Once the charging process has finished, the
battery charger automatically switches to
conservation mode.
The battery pack can remain in the battery
charger and is therefore always ready for use.
However, never leave the battery pack in a
disconnected battery charger because of the
possibility of exhaustive discharge and
damage to the battery cells.
The operating indicator (2) lights up
continuously.
7.3

Refresh mode (ACS 15 Plus only)

The NiCd and NiMH battery packs may
discharge naturally by themselves and the
cells in the battery pack may assume different
charging states. The full power of a battery
pack may no longer be available as a result.
If you suspect that the battery is suffering from
this effect, you can use refresh mode to
restore full battery pack power corresponding
to the battery age.
Only for NiCd and NiMH battery packs – not
for Li-Ion battery packs and vehicle starter
batteries. Use a maximum of once a month
for each battery pack.
1) Insert battery pack up to the stop in the
charging compartment (1). If necessary, use
an adapter for the battery pack (available as
accessory).
