START TO CHARGING YOUR BATTERY
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
Suitable for 12V Normal Lead Acid, Sealed, Leisure or Gel Batteries between 5-160Ah
1. Preparing the battery
Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient in
each cell. If it is below the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled water.
Note:
Under no circumstances should tap water be used.
The cell caps should not be replaced until charging is complete. This allows any gases
formed during charging to escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of acid will oc-
cur during charging.
For permanently sealed battery, it is not necessary to carry out the above checks.
2. Connection
Connect the positive charging lead (red) to the positive terminal post of the battery
(marked P or +). Connect the negative charging lead (black) to the negative terminal post
of the battery (marked N or -).
Once you connected the PSD008 battery charger to AC power, it will sound a tone for
0.5 seconds and all of the LEDs on the touch panel will be on for a short time.
Warning! Always disconnect the AC plug from the AC mains socket before connecting
or disconnecting the appliance to or from the battery.

nate, and the charger is automatically detecting the battery. This is the standard charging
