CHARGING TIME 

 

1. 

If the battery is free from issues it should be sufficiently charged to start a 

vehicle once the 100% LED indicator is illuminated 

2. 

For the battery with different capacities,different brands and in different using 

stage, the charging time will vary. In general, after charging 12-15 hours, the 

battery can be used normally. 

3. 

Motorcycle and smaller capacity batteries may need a shorter time frame of 

around 4-6 hours to restore a battery to peak condition. 

 

 

OVERLOAD 

 

Prolonged charging of deep discharged batteries or attempting to charge a battery larger 

than  80  amp  hours  can  cause  the  charger  to  overheat.  If  this  occurs,  the  chargers 

thermal  overload  switch will  activate.  This  cycling  will  not  damage  either  the  charger  or 

the battery,  however if this situation occurs for more than  2 hours, please switch off the 

charger  and  disconnect  from  the  battery  and  wall  outlet.  It  is  advisable  if  this  occurs 

whilst  charging  a  battery  less  than  80  amp  hours,  to  have  your  battery  checked  by  an 

automotive electrician. 

 

LOW MAINTENANCE BATTERIES 

 

It is advisable to not overcharge a low maintenance battery.   

 

Low maintenance batteries are easily recognizable as they do  not have removable filler 

caps. 

 

Do  not  attempt  to  recharge  a  sealed  lead  acid  battery,  commonly  found  in  UPS 

(uninterruptible  power  supplies)  devices,  mobility  scooters,  alarm  systems  etc.  This 

charger is not designed for these types of batteries. 

 

SAFETY INFORMATION 

 

WARNING

 

  Working  in  the  vicinity  of  a  lead  acid  battery  is  dangerous  due  to  the 

emission of explosive gases. A spark, cigarette or naked flame such as lighter or matches 

can ignite these explosive gases. Care should always be taken. 

 

 

Keep all naked flames and potential sparks away from the battery at all 

times 

 

Never smoke or light a cigarette near a battery 

 

Extreme care is required when handling metal objects and tools such as 

jewellery, rings or watches. When a metal object touches a battery
