diagnosis or software update. The power used over an extended period of time must be
less than the charger's maximum output current (35 A), otherwise the battery will be
drained. Buffering (Trickle) mode is not suitable for fully charging the battery.

The charger automatically identifies the
battery, e.g. 12 V, and starts the buffering
process after 5 seconds.
If the battery voltage is not correctly identi-
fied (e.g. in the event of a deeply dischar-
ged battery), you have 5 seconds to enter
the correct battery voltage, as follows:
