LiIon: The battery pack is immediately
ready for operation and can be charged at
any time without shortening the service life.
The charger TRC 3 can be used to charge all
Festool battery packs of the BPS and BPC se-
ries. The charger automatically detects the
type of the inserted battery (NiCd, NiMH or
LiIon). A microprocessor controls the charg-
ing process in line with the charging state,
temperature and voltage of the battery pack.
If a warm NiMH battery pack (> 37 °C) is in-
serted, the pack is charged with a reduced
charging current and will take longer to
charge.
The LED
[3-1]
on the charger indicates the
respective operating status of the charger.
LED yellow - lit continuously
Charger is ready to use.
LED green - flashing quickly
Battery pack is charged to maximum capacity.
LED green - flashing slowly
Battery pack is charged with reduced cur-
rent, LiIon is charged to 80 %.
LED green - lit continuously
Battery pack is fully charged, or charging is
not started again, because the battery is
charged to more than 80 %.
LED red - flashing
General fault display, e.g. incomplete con-
tact, short circuit, battery pack faulty, etc.
LED red - lit continuously
Battery temperature is outside the permitted
range.
