Charge acceptance test

General

Charge acceptance test mode is used to determine a battery’s ability to accept a charge.

The charge acceptance test takes place as follows:
-

charge acceptance testing is conducted automatically for a period of 15 minutes; if the
result is positive, the device will then switch automatically to standard charging mode
and charge the battery

-

if the result is negative, „Test Fail“ appears on the charger’s screen and charging of
the battery is halted

A prerequisite for a satisfactory charge acceptance test is compliance with EU standard
EN-50342-1:2006 item 5.4 (battery approx. 50% discharged).
