This battery charger is equipped with a self-resetting circuit
breaker. This device protects the charger from temporary over-
loads. In the event of an overload, the circuit breaker will trip
open and after a short cooling off period will reset automati-
cally. This process is known as cycling and can be recognized
by an audible clicking sound.
