    WARNINGS AND ERROR MESSAGES RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES The Prodigy 610 incorporates a various functions of protective and monitoring the system to verify functions and the state of its electronics. In any case of occurring error, the screen displays the cause of error that is self-explanatory with audible sound. Incorrect polarity connected.
  • Page 15: Conformity Declaration

    CONFORMITY DECLARATION MAXIMUM CIRCUIT POWER CHART Prodigy 610 satisfies all relevant and mandatory EC directives and FCC Part 15 Maximum circuit power chart (Output 1 & 2) Subpart B: 2008. The actual amount of charge current feeding to the battery is automatically be limited to 200 Watts, so not to exceed the charger's maximum rated charging power.
  • Page 16: Specification

    MAXIMUM CIRCUIT POWER CHART COMMONLY USED TERMS Commonly used terms Final charge voltage: the voltage at which the battery's charge limit (capacity limit) is reached. The charge process switches from a high current to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge) at this point. From this point on further high current charging would cause overheating and eventual terminal damage to the pack.
