The device automatically detects defective or incorrectly inserted batteries (e.g., reversed polarity or disposable batteries) and will not attempt to charge them.
Charging Process and Indicators
The Ansmann Energy 8 Plus automatically initiates the charging process upon battery insertion. It includes a refreshing and recharge process, and can even "revive" some damaged batteries.
The charger is equipped with LED indicators for each charging bay to display the status:
- LED rouge (clignotant) : Indicates a defective battery or incorrect insertion. Remove the battery and check.
