If it is a manual charger and not automatic it should work.
If it is automatic it will keep shutting on and off, and not work properly.

The only thing i can find that confuses my about if it could be used for my gold cell, is this text i have copiet here:

4. Overload protection
Figure 13:
The flat fuse provides protection from polarity reversal and short-circuiting. A defective fuse has to be replaced by one of identical amperage. Before you replace the fuse, remove the power plug from the socket-outlet and disconnect the charging terminals from the battery.
An automatic circuit-breaker interrupts the charging in the event of thermal overloading. The circuit-breaker switches on again automatically after a cooling interval.
Figure 14:
The built-in overload cut-out protects the unit from overloads and short-circuits. When the overload cut-out responds, its pushbutton jumps out a little further. After a cooling period of approx. 5 minutes you can press the pushbutton back into place.


Or is this just standard for all kinds of chargers?

I seem to think if it was automatic it would say that. I think that older chargers and the cheaper models are more likely to be manual.
I have one that says Automatic/Manual and I can't seem to get it to work manually.
I have a few others that are just manual and they work the way they should.

Maybe someone with electronic experience could disable or bypass the automatic part of the charger?
If it is automatic.

pretty much standard, just Mains voltage: 230 V ~ 50 Hz, 60Hz in US,


computer power supply works too,

Edit to add

Didn't see location, outside US most are 50Hz, looks like in the German manual I think it was giving formulas for charging rates and time seems it could be manual
