OPERATION OF THE CHARGER
TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
1. Connect the charger to the battery.
2. Connect the charger to the mains supply and switch on.
3. Set the mode switch to the
CHARGE function indicated by
the battery symbol.
4. Set the other selector switches to:
• Low charging rate:- MIN and 1.
• Medium charging rate:- MIN
and 2.
• High charging rate:- BOOST.
(this over-rides the 1/2 switch)
5. Check the current delivery by reading the ammeter on the front of the
battery charger.
• During charging, the ammeter on the charger will indicate the current
delivered to the battery. During the charge, the readout will decrease
slowly to the lowest value according to the capacity and condition of
the battery. When the reading becomes very low, no further charging is
necessary.
• Charge a sealed battery very slowly at the lowest settings of MIN/1,
monitoring the voltage across the battery terminals using a volt meter.
• When the battery terminal voltage reaches 14.4V for 12V batteries, stop
charging.
WHEN CHARGING IS COMPLETE
1. When charging is complete the ammeter reading should be close to “0”
and the electrolyte in the battery may begin to gas. Stop charging to
protect the battery plates from damage.
2. Switch off the charger and disconnect the plug from the power socket.
• Remove the leads from the battery as described in the previous
sections.
• Return the battery to the vehicle. Secure and re-connect, ensuring all
tools are removed from the battery area.
