Note
: A battery that hasn’t changed to maintenance charge after three days is most likely
worn out and needs to be replaced. All other batteries can be maintained for a very long
time.
BATTERY TYPES
The following recommendations should only be considered as guidelines. In the event of
uncertainty always refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
US 800 is suitable for charging all types of 12V lead-acid batteries: open batteries, MF,
Wet, AGM and most GEL-batteries. Battery sizes from 2 to 32Ah. The charger can
maintain batteries up to 100Ah.
CHARGING
The battery charger must be connected to the battery according to
the instructions above.
Starting the charging process:
Once you have established that the battery cable has been correctly connected you
can start the charging process. To do so, insert the charger plug into the AC socket.
Now either the charge indicator
or the maintenance charge indicator
lights up.
When the maintenance charge indicator lights up, the battery is fully charged. If the
battery voltage drops, the charger sends a pulse to the battery. The length of the pulse
depends on how much charge the battery has lost. The US 800 may be connected for
months at a time. However it is recommended to monitor batteries on charge.
The red alarm indication light
will indicate a battery, which is connected to reverse
polarity.
If nothing happens: If no indicator is illuminated, the connection to the battery or the
chassis could be faulty, or the battery could be defective. If the charging process
has not started, this could be due to the fact that the power socket is not supplying a
current.
The charging process can be interrupted at any time. In addition pull the plug of the
charger out of the power socket. Always remove the plug of the charger from the
power socket before disconnecting the battery cable. If you interrupt the charging
