o
If Negatively Earthed (Most Common)
– FIRST Connect the Red (+) battery
charger lead to the positive (+) Battery post and then connect the Black (-)
battery charger lead to the vehicle’s chassis and away from the fuel line.
o
If Positively Earthed
– FIRST Connect the Black (-) battery charger lead to the
Negative (-) battery post and then connect the Red (+) battery charger lead to
the Vehicle’s chassis and far away from the fuel line.
STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power

Connect the battery charger to the Mains Powered socket.

The Charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.
(Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it’s
likely that the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed. Refer to Trouble Shooting
Page for further information)
THE CHARGING PROCESS:
The charging stages and performance are as follows:
ECO Mode
If ac power is connected, and the battery is not connected, after 10 seconds, the charger will
automatically go into ECO mode.

The Green LED is fast flashing indicates the ECO mode.
Battery Initial Qualification
When the battery is connected and ac powers on, the program will automatically run
qualification as the following processes:
- Detects the battery internal impendence and initial voltage.
- Determine the charging rate acceptance.
- Diagnoses the battery sulphated condition.
- Senses whether the battery is still connected into the vehicle electronic circuit.
The program will determine the next stage subjected to above result of initial qualification.

The Red LED is ON and Yellow LED is ON, (the initial voltage is at very low level).
Enhanced Battery Rejuvenation
If the initial qualification detected that the battery was in poor condition, our unique rejuvenation
process (patented in USA and Europe) will begin automatically. During the rejuvenation
process, a high voltage equalizing and peak pulse reconditioning charge is used to repair the
sulphated battery, this unique patented feature will break down and dissolve the lead-sulphate
crystal built up on the battery plates, balance out the high concentrations of acid, which is to
extend your battery life and performance.
Note: If the unit senses that battery is still connected in the vehicle, the equalization voltage will
be 16V maximum. If it senses that the battery isn
’t connected then the equalization voltage will
