UNIVERSAL BATTERY CHARGER &
MAINTAINER
12V 25 AMP
3. Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (220-240Vac)
• The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched ON.
• IMPORTANT: Please make sure the correct Battery Type and your desired Charge Rate
is selected to suit your battery by pressing the Select Buttons within the first 5 minutes
of charging. For Example do not charge a Gel Battery on the Calcium Battery Type
setting as this may damage your battery and / or reduce your battery life.
Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates RED, please check your connections as it’s
likely that the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed.
4. The Charging Process:
• Qualification - Battery Condition Check
When the charger is first switched ON it checks the battery condition to determine
whether the battery needs reconditioning. During this qualification process it checks
the internal impedance and initial Voltage of the battery and it will determine how
much charge current, if any that the battery will accept.
• Automatic Enhanced Battery Rejuvenation - BLUE Bulk LED Flashing Fast
If the initial qualification detected that the battery was in poor condition, the patented
rejuvenation process will begin automatically. During the rejuvenation process a
high Voltage equalising and peak pulse reconditioning charge is used to repair the
sulphated battery. This unique patented feature will break down and dissolve the
lead-sulphate crystal build up on the battery plates which will extend the life of your
battery. It can also balance out high concentrations of acid. The equalisation Voltage
will be 16V maximum. If the charging current detected is less than 0.1A after 24 hours,
the Rejuvenation process will time out.
• Manual Enhanced Rejunvenation Mode
To manually rejuvenate your batteries, simply press and hold the Battery Type button
for 3 seconds until the BLUE Bulk LED flashes rapidly. This mode will last for 24 Hours.
To stop rejuvenation mode, press and hold the Charge Rate button for 3 seconds until
the BLUE Bulk LED stops flashing rapidly.
Important Note: Please check your Battery Type and Charge Rate selection to ensure
you haven’t accidentally changed these settings.
• Soft Start Charging - BLUE Bulk LED Flashing Slow
Gently charges the battery using a reduced charge output until the battery Voltages
reaches 11V. If the battery Voltage doesn’t reach 11V within 6 hours, the safety timer
protection will stop the unit from charging and the RED Fault LED and BLUE Bulk LED
will start flashing.
• Bulk Charging - BLUE Bulk LED ON
(Charge Voltage depends on battery type selection)
Uses the maximum selected charge output until the battery Voltage reaches the
Charge Voltage specified for the selected Battery Type. If the battery Voltage doesn’t
