

Short circuit and reverse polarity protection:



Heavy-duty and corrosion-resistant output connectors:



Crocodile clips:

It comes with a quick connect fly lead and heavy

duty, fully insulated crocodile clips.



Rapid Charge Mode:

uses maximum charging current to ensure the

fastest charge time. You may here have the fan turned on during this
mode.



Silent Charge Mode:

charges at a slightly reduced charge rate so the cooling fan is not required.



Maintenance Mode:

ideal and recommended for long term maintenance charging or charging of smaller

batteries.

TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:



INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION:

The charger has a built-in overheat and an overload protection. This

protects the charger from being damaged if overheated or overloaded and will automatically decrease the
charging current. Once the unit’s internal temperature decreases to a safe level, the charger will resume
normal charging.



SAFETY TIMER PROTECTION:

The charger has safety timers for every stage. If the battery voltage doesn’t

reach a certain voltage within a certain amount of time, the unit will stop charging as it’s highly likely that
you’re attempting to charge a severely discharged or heavily sulphated battery. If any of the stages time out,
the charger will immediately stop charging in order to protect the battery. This will be indicated with the
ERROR LED flashing slowly.



REVERSE POLARITY:

The charger has a reverse polarity protection. If the charger output leads are connected

with a reverse polarity, the ERROR LED will light on and the charger will be disabled. Simply unplug the
charger from AC power and then connect the output leads to the correct polarity.



SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION:

The charger will automatically turn off if the output leads are short circuited

and the ERROR LED will light on. This prevents the charger from being damaged if the positive and negative
crocodile clips or the optional ring terminals accidently touch each other while the charger is turned on.



ECO MODE:

This battery charger has a built in ultra-low power consumption circuit. If AC power is connected

and the battery is disconnected, after 10 seconds the charger will automatically go into an ECO mode. During
this mode the power drawn is less than 0.36W which totals 0.01kWh per day power consumption. If AC
power is connected and the battery is connected, once the battery is fully charged and during the long term
maintenance stage, the total power consumption is around 0.03kWh per day.
Both the selected charge rate and battery type LED’s will flash GREEN to indicate ECO mode.
