2.3 Operating principle of charger
GT203/Li-ion battery GT201
The charger GT203 is designed for a mains voltage/
frequency range of 100 V to 240 V and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
To make the charger GT203 ready for operation, con-
nect it to mains power by plugging in the mains plug.
The charger GT203 is equipped with to charging bays.
The first charging bay is for charging the battery-pow-
ered shearing machine FAV5 CL, while in the second
charging bay the Li-ion battery is charged.
Each charging bay has an indicator field on the charger
front panel assigned to it.
Charging starts automatically, as soon as a Li-ion bat-
tery is inserted in the charging station.
The charging time in the charging bays depends on the
charge state and capacity of the Li-ion batteries.
2.3.1 Charging principle
The Li-ion batteries are charged by constant current
pulses.
The charge state of the Li-ion battery is monitored
during charging. Monitoring of the charging curve
ensures that the battery is fully charged without over-
charging.
Additionally, the battery temperature and charging
time are monitored as well.
The charger monitors the battery status and indicates
the charge state via two LED indicators.
LED indicators:
• green = Battery fully charged
• red = Battery completely discharged
2.3.2 Charging time
Charging is stopped as soon as the maximum charging
time is reached.
The charging time is approx. 50 min.
