WARNING

The

EP12M248

charger is designed to charge

12V

lead-acid

batteries from 6Ah to 160Ah and maintain batteries up to 200Ah

.

.

Check battery manufacturer specifications before using this charger.

Explosive gases may escape from the battery during charging.

Provide ventilation to prevent flames and sparks.

Do not expose charger to rain, snow or liquids.

Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse immediately with water if acid comes

into contact with skin or eyes.

Do not charge a frozen or damaged battery.

Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.

Do not place the charger on the battery while charging.

Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto

battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part

that may cause explosion.

When working with a lead-acid battery, remove personal metal items

such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watch…

Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame while charging.

In order to reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from AC

outlet before doing any maintenance or cleaning.

Not for use by children or by anyone who is unable to follow

instructions of this manual, unless they are supervised by an adult

to ensure the proper use of charger.

MAIN FEATURES:

High efficiency (>85%).

Selectable charging rates to suit battery capacity.

Selectable battery type.

Temperature self-compensation: Charging voltage adapts to

temperature to prevent over or under battery charging.

Capable of recharging severely discharged or heavily sulfated

battery.

Reverse polarity protection, short circuit protection, sparks free

contact.

Ultra low input power consumption while in standby mode.

Ease of use. Clear charging status display.

Full microprocessor controlled.

Does not over charge your battery even if it is kept connected in
