Notes: 

 

The EFOY Pro is charging the connected battery and 
the battery supplies the power for the application.. 

 

The EFOY Pro can only be used to charge lead 
batteries which conform to the technical 
specification (see chapter 3.3, page 13).

 

 

The EFOY Pro can charge 12 V and 24 V batteries 
and automatically detects the voltage of the 
connected battery.  

 

The charging parameters for the automatic mode 
can be adjusted with a standard PC – see user 
manual of computer interface adapter.  

 

To protect the battery against deep discharging it is 
recommended to install a low-voltage load 
disconnector that disconnects the load from the 
battery.
