- The PowerCombi is supplied partially charged.
- Fully charge the PowerCombi before using it for the first time (see section
"Charging the PowerCombi").
- For charging, use the mains charger.

be recharged every 3 months when not in use.

The PowerCombi can be charged by means of the 230V mains charger or the 12 V
charging cord. Please observe that the charging of the PowerCombi via the 12 V mains
charger may not take place during drive due to safety reasons.
The charging time is about 24-48 hours with the 230 V mains charger.

overcharge the battery or may damage it.

battery has been fully charged, then the control switches over to green.

signal. The charging process is also not finished automatically with green
control but only when the mains charger has been disconnected.
