the true input voltage to the battery and adjust the output voltage of the unit accordingly.
This will maximize the charging efficiency.
Reverse-polarity Protection
This unit offers reverse-polarity protection, the RED “REVERSE” LED will illuminate and the
charging process will not start. If this happens, unplug immediately from the mains, connect
the red crocodile clip to positive (+) battery post, and black crocodile clip to negative (-) post,
then plug into the mains power and the charging process will start.
Short-circuit Protection
Should you accidentally touch the crocodile clips together whilst the mains power is on, the
unit will not perform charging. Unplug from the mains, disconnect and start the process again
being careful not to touch the clips together.

OPERATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
Suitable for 6 & 12V Normal Lead Acid, Sealed, Leisure or Gel Batteries between
10-70Ah.
1. Preparing the Battery
Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient in
each cell. If it is below the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled water.
Note:
Under no circumstances should tap water be used.
The cell caps should not be replaced until charging is complete. This allows any gases formed
during charging to escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of acid will occur during
charging.
For permanently sealed battery, it is not necessary to carry out the above checks.
2. Connection
Connect the positive charging lead (red) to the positive terminal post of the battery (marked
P or +). Connect the negative charging lead (black) to the negative terminal post of the
battery (marked N or -). It is important to ensure that both DC clamps are making good
contact with their respective terminal posts.
Connect the charger’s AC power cable to an AC power outlet. Once you have connected the
DFC530N battery charger to AC power, it will sound a tone for 0,5 seconds and the Simple
Touch power panel LEDs light for two seconds.
3. Reverse Polarity
If the DC battery clamps are connected improperly to the battery terminals, the reverse
polarity LED will light up. The battery charger’s warning buzzer will also sound. If this occurs
simply disconnect the battery charger from the AC power. Connect the DC clamps correctly to
the battery terminals. Reconnect the charger to the AC power.
