Battery Charging

 Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied battery
charger is designed for the Lithium-Ion battery in your gar-
den product.
 Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
supply must correspond with the data given on the name-
plate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that al-
lows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C
and 45 °C. In this manner, a high battery service life is
achieved.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)" protects the lithium-
ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is run
down or discharged, the garden product is shut off by means
of a protective circuit: The garden product no longer oper-
ates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off
switch after the garden product has
been automatically switched off. The battery can be dam-
aged.

Charging Procedure

The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of
the battery charger is plugged into the socket outlet and the
battery is inserted into the charging compartment .
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-
tion of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is
charged with the optimum charging current, depending on
battery temperature and voltage.
This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully
charged when kept in the charger for storage.
Meaning of the Indication Elements (AL 1815 CV)
Flashing Battery Charge Indicator
The charging procedure is signalled by a flashing
battery charge indicator.
Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuous lighting of the battery charge indi-
cator indicates that the battery is fully charged or
that the temperature of the battery is not within
the allowable charging temperature range, and cannot be
charged for this reason. The battery is charged as soon as the
allowable charging temperature range is reached.
When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the
battery charge indicator indicates that the mains plug is in-
serted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for
operation.
F 016 L81 734 | (24.5.17)
Meaning of the Indication Elements (AL 1830 CV)
(Fast) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by fast
flashing of the green battery charge indicator.
Note: The rapid-charging procedure is only possible when the
battery temperature is within the allowable charging temper-
ature range, see section "Technical Data".
(Slow) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
When the charging condition of the battery is
80 %, the green battery charge indicator flash-
es slowly.
The battery can be removed for immediate use.
Continuous Lighting of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuous lighting of the green battery charge
indicator indicates that the battery is fully
charged.
When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the
battery charge indicator indicates that the mains plug is in-
serted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for
operation.
Continuous Lighting of the Red Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuous lighting of the red battery charge in-
dicator indicates that the temperature of the bat-
tery is not within the allowable charging temperature range,
see section "Technical Data". As soon as the allowable charg-
ing temperature range is reached, the battery charger auto-
matically switches to rapid charging.
Flashing Red Battery Charge Indicator
A flashing red battery charge indicator indicates
a different malfunction of the charging proce-
dure, see section "Troubleshooting – Causes and Corrective
Measures".
