on page 34).

✓ The "Battery Recondition" indicator lamp (fig. 1 7, page 3) flashes.

Most lead acid batteries have an acid content of around 1.28 in a fully
charged condition.

constantly when reconditioning has been concluded (i.e. the acid content
of the battery remains constant).

Recondition" indicator lamp (fig. 1 6, page 3) goes out or
➤ ... disconnect the battery from the compact charger to end reconditioning.
Note
The compact charger ends reconditioning after approx. four hours.
➤ If the acid content is still rising although the time limit of four hours has
been reached, you can restart reconditioning by pressing the "Battery
Recondition" button (fig. 1 6, page 3) again.
