System Description

 

 

 

 

Description

The Leica Geosystems GKL221 is an intelligent charger with advanced charging technology. It is

 

 

designed to charge all Leica batteries. As power supply, the mains as well as GDC221 vehicle dapter

 

 

connected to the cigarette lighter socket of a vehicle can be used. The GKL221 is a very useful comple-

EN

 

 

ment to all of your battery operated Leica Geosystems products.

 

 

 

 

General information

Up to five batteries can be connected to the charger. Two batteries can be charged at the same time.

 

 

With more than two batteries connected, the rest are charged in the order they were connected.

 

 

Beside charging, the charger can also discharge and refresh batteries.

 

 

 

We recommend starting up the product at this point, while continuing to read the Operating Instructions.
