7. Charging lead batteries (quick start)
Brief guide
OPErATION OF THE DEVICE
Connection to the mains:
Connect the charger to a 230 V socket. The green
„
Mains
“ LED lights up to indicate it is ready.
sETTING THE CHArGING CurrENT:
Depending on the type of battery, you use the
„
Mode
“ button to choose the appropriate symbol
on the display: motorbike, golf cart, car. These three
modes are envisaged for the following battery
capacities:
Motorbike
5... 15 Ah
mode:
(maximum charging current: 1 A)
Golf cart
15... 30 Ah
mode:
(maximum charging current: 2.5 A)
Car mode:
30...100 Ah
(maximum charging current: 5 A)
The device is of course also suitable for battery
capacities of more than 100 Ah, but this then
results in a longer charging time. The charging time
depends on the state of charge, the capacity of the
battery and the chosen charging current.
CONNECTING TO THE BATTErY:
Connect the red connecting terminal of the battery
charger to the positive terminal (+) of the
battery and the black terminal to the negative pole
(–) of the battery.
CHArGING PrOCEss:
The charging process starts automatically after
the battery is connected. If the battery is
deeply
discharged
(i.e. if there is a battery voltage of less
than 10.5 V), the
battery symbol
fl ashes when
charging commences. Only when the charging
voltage is more than 10.5 V does the
capacity
display
become active.
With a capacity display of
100%
(i.e. all
segments are switched on), the battery is almost
fully charged, and you can disconnect the terminals
so that you can place it in the vehicle.
However, the following should be borne
in mind:
Even if the segment is 100% lit up (the
last segment of the display), it may, depending
on the battery capacity (size) and condition (age,
degree of sulphation etc.), take several more hours
before the residual charge is supplied and the
device switches to
test mode
; only after this does
it switch to
refresh mode
.
FINIsHED CHArGING:
The battery charger switches the „
Fertig
“
(Finished) LED on and then goes into the refresh
mode as soon as all test criteria have been
fulfi lled after charging and the battery has been
evaluated as good. At the same time, the „
Laden
“
(Charging) LED goes out and the program switches
to „
Erhalten
“ (Refresh), which is in turn indicated
by the corresponding LED. The battery is then
fully charged and ready for use
and can be
disconnected from the battery charger.
Then pull the mains cable out of the socket,
although you should always pull on the plug rather
than the actual cable!
With lead batteries which are not maintenance-
free, you must always check the acid level. If the
acid level is too low, top it up with distilled water.
Please follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when
doing this.
