Maintenance–free batteries, stan-
dard batteries and exhausted batte-
ries can be charged with the power-
ful rapid start charger W 200 S.
The charger is designed for rapid
charging and for use as a starting
aid.
The charging current can be adju-
sted in 4 stages.
The unit ist protected by a safety cut-
out against the terminals being
reversed, against short-circuiting of
the terminals and overcurrent.
If there is continuous overloading
the thermostatic switch in the trans-
former switches the charger off.
After a cooling–down period of 15 ...
30 minutes the thermostatic switch
automatically switches on again
Off
