8 Use

8.1

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.
8.2

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.
8.3

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).
2) Press the refresh mode button (4) until the
refresh mode indicator (5) flashes.
Refresh mode ends automatically after approx.
8 hours for NiMH battery packs or after approx.
12 hours for NiCd battery packs.
The battery pack is then fully charged.
Note: The battery pack can be removed from the
charger at any time, thereby interrupting refresh
mode.
When the operating indicator (2) lights up
continuously, this signals the end of refresh mode.
The battery pack can remain in the battery charger
and is therefore always ready for use.
8.4 Charging vehicle starter batteries
(ACS 15 Plus only)
Only suitable for 6 V or 12 V wet batteries
with a minimum of 20 Ah.
Vehicle starter batteries can be charged in
combination with the charging adapter 6.27076
(not included in scope of delivery). Read the
directions for use and safety instructions
accompanying the charger adapter.
