7 • Owner’s manual - Model. CC1212-XLi
STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (240V AC)
• The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.

IMPORTANT:
Please make sure the correct Battery Type and your desired Charge Rate is
selected to suit your battery by pressing the Select Buttons within the first 5 minutes of
charging. For Example do not charge a Gel or AGM type Battery on the SMF [Calcium] Battery
Type setting as this will damage your battery and / or reduce your battery life.
Note:
If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it is likely that
the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed.
THE CHARGING PROCESS: LEAD ACID
(Gel, Calcium SMF, AGM/FLOODED/EFB)
1) Qualification - Battery Condition Check
When the charger is first switched on it checks the battery condition to determine whether the
battery needs reconditioning. During this qualification process it checks the internal impedance
and initial voltage of the battery and it will determine how much charge current, if any that the
battery will accept.
2) Automatic Enhanced Battery Rejuvenation
If the initial qualification detected that the battery was in poor condition, the patented
rejuvenation process will begin automatically. During the rejuvenation process a high voltage
equalising 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 build up on the
battery plates which will extend the life of your battery. It can also balance out high concentrations
of acid. The equalisation voltage will be 16V maximum. If the battery voltage doesn’t reach 9V
within 24 hours, the Rejuvenation process will time out.
3) Soft Start Charging
Gently charges the battery using a reduced charge output until the battery voltages reaches 11V. If
the battery voltage doesn’t reach 11V within 6 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the unit
from charging and the Red Fault LED and 25% LED will start flashing.
If Positively Earthed – FIRST Connect the Black
(-) Crocodile clip or ring terminal lead to the (-)
battery terminal and then connect the Red (+)
Crocodile clip or ring terminal lead to the vehicle’s
chassis. DO NOT connect the Red (+) lead to the
carburettor or fuel lines.
