How does the charging "frog" work?
The device looks like a small plastic box, similar in shape to the aforementioned amphibian. The case of the device is equipped with two contacts in the form of antennae, which ensure the connection and charge of the battery. These antennae are mobile, which makes it possible to connect batteries of different configurations, but they must all be lithium. Universal charging - "frog" for mobile phone batteries and other gadgets is divided into three types depending on the type of connection: five-volt, connected to a USB-cord, twelve-volt, connected to the car, and 220-volt, powered from a standard outlet.
This device has the polarity "+" and "-". Its correction can be carried out both in automatic mode and manually, by pressing the special buttons.
How do I charge the battery with a "frog"?
Here is the step-by-step instruction:
- Remove the battery from the mobile device and open the charging by pressing the clothespin.
- Extend the mustache of the device to the required distance and connect it to the two terminals of the battery.
- Now you need to make sure that the polarity is correct. Those who want to know how to use the charging "frog" for the phone, you need to click on the button located on the left side of the device - the "TE" button.
- The lit diode under the letters "CON" and "FUL" confirms that the battery is connected correctly. If they do not light up, the connection is incorrect, or the battery is completely discharged.
- For those who are interested in how to use the universal charge, the "frog" in this case, it is recommended to rotate the battery manually, or press the right button, changing the polarity.
- If there is no result after this, then we can conclude that the battery is completely discharged, or the whiskers do not touch the terminals.
- If everything is done correctly, then after connecting the device to the network, a diode under the inscription "CH" will light up. After 2-5 hours, depending on the capacity of the battery, the diode under the inscription "FUL" will light up, warning that the battery is ready for operation.
Do not worry, if it turned out that the battery is completely discharged. After its five-minute charging in the frog, you can insert it into your native device and then recharge it in the usual way.
