NOTE: THIS CHARGER IS PROTECTED 
AGAINST REVERSE CONNECTION. CHARGING 
WILL NOT COMMENCE IF BATTERY IS 
INCORRECTLY CONNECTED.

3. Connect the charger to AC power supply.
NOTE: THE CHARGER WILL NOW SWITCH ON 
AND THE YELLOW LED WILL LIGHT.

4. The charger will now commence to charge the 
battery, as indicated by the RED charging LED's.
NOTE: The length of time the charger remains in 
the "Charging Mode" depends on the size and state 
of discharge of the battery. This is controlled by the 
charger's solid state circuitry which constantly 
monitors the state of the battery and provides the 
correct charge automatically.
IMPORTANT: The charger should be allowed to go 
through the complete charge routine in order to 
obtain the optimum charge. This will take a 
minimum of one hour.

5. When the GREEN "READY" LED comes ON, the 
battery is ready for use.
NOTE: The battery may be connected to the 
charger in the "READY" mode indefinitely, in order 
to maintain the battery in a fully charged state while 
not in use without risk of over charging.
IMPORTANT: The charger must be disconnected 
from the power supply before disconnecting from 
the battery to prevent the possibility of arcing.

6. During charging, the current flowing into the 
battery is indicated by the LED Amp Meter. At the 
start of charge, if the battery is normally discharged, 
all 4 RED LED's will be on, and will go out in 
sequence as the charge current drops. When the 
last RED LED goes off, the internal proportional 
timer will start, the GREEN LED will show 
proportional to the time of the constant current time. 
(T/2+1hr)

7. If the battery voltage is less than half a volt, the 
battery is considered very heavily discharged.  In 
this case, the YELLOW charging LED will NOT
show. 

This charger is suitable for use with all types of 
lead acid batteries, including the new types of 
Maintenance-Free and Gelled Electrolyte batteries. 

1. Disconnect vehicle battery cables.

2. Connect charger to battery. Ensure correct 
Polarity. BLACK lead to Negative (-) terminal and 
RED lead to Positive (+) terminal.
NOTE: THE CHARGER IS PROTECTED 
AGAINST REVERSE CONNECTION. CHARGING 
WILL NOT COMMENCE IF THE BATTERY IS 
INCORRECTLY CONNECTED.

3. Connect the charger to an A.C. Power Supply.
Check that the Red (Power) and Yellow (Charge) 
indicator Led’s are On. After a time (Which 
depends on how heavily the battery is discharged) , 
the yellow Led will begin to flash, indicating the 
battery has reached 80% recharge level.

4. After a further time, the Green “Ready” Led will 
indicate that the battery is fully charged. The 
minimum time before the green “Ready” Led shows 
is one hour. The battery should be left on charge 
until required for use.
