Preparation
– Before Charging
General Checking
•
Check thoroughly the charger itself including all the cables show no damages
•
Take into consideration the charging instruction issued by the battery manufacturer
Charging Cable – Polarity Checking
WARNING: Check the polarity before mounting onto a plug:
•
Red cable = Plus (+)
•
Black cable = Minus (-)
DC Mains Supply Checking
•
Make sure the DC cable must not be cut, shortened or extended under any circumstances
•
Make sure the mains supply complies with the technical specification requirements of the charger
Before Connecting the Charger to the Battery
•
Make sure the charger is switched off and disconnected from the mains supply
•
Then connect the terminals of the charger to the battery (Red cable to the positive (+) terminal of the battery; then Black cable to the negative
(-) terminal)
•
If the battery is built-in within a vehicle, the Black cable can be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the battery or the body of the vehicle;
make sure the connection is done with a safe distance from the fuel line and take into consideration of the battery and vehicle manufacturer
•
Finally connect the power cable of the charger to the mains supply, and switch on the charger
Charging the Battery
Plug in and switch on the charger. The charging process starts automatically and runs through the following stages:
Phase 1: Constant Current Charging
Red Charge LED (7) blinks or lights up. The battery is being charged to 80% of its capacity at this stage.
Phase 2: Constant Voltage Charging
Yellow Charge LED (6) blinks or lights up. The battery is being charged to its maximum capacity. When the Green Full LED (5) turns on, the charger
can now be disconnected from the battery.
Phase 3: Float Charging
Green Full LED (5) keeps on lighting indicate the battery has reached its full capacity. If the battery keeps connecting to the charger, float charge
mode takes place to keep the readiness of the battery at all time.
Disconnect the Charger from the Battery:
1.
First, disconnect the charger from the mains supply
2.
Then, disconnect the charger from the battery (disconnect the Black (-) cable first then the Red (+) cable)
After disconnecting the charger from the mains, please wait at least 5 seconds to reactivate the charger if in need – otherwise damages may be
resulted.
Charging Advice and Battery Care
Charging Advice:
•
If the charger must be disconnected from the battery during the charging process, please FIRST disconnect the charger from the mains supply.
The continuation of the charging process is equal to a new charging cycle; all relevant points of the Operating Instructions have to be considered.
•
To lengthen the lifetime of the battery, please do not stop the charging process before the battery is fully charged. The charger will automatically
switch to float charging when the charging process is completed.
Battery Care:
•
Never expose the battery to high temperatures, as this causes permanent battery capacity loss.
•
Never deep-discharge or overcharge the battery, cells can be damaged irreversibly.
•
If possible, always disconnect the battery from the load when being stored over long period of time.
•
Store battery in a dry and cool place at about 40-60% of its rated capacity.
