(A) Introduction
The Oximiser 900 is a professional switch mode charger designed to automatically
maintain, optimise and prolong the life of a 12-volt automotive battery.
This Oximiser 900 uses state of the art electronic software to ensure that the battery is
charged correctly. It can be used with most batteries including Maintenance Free and Gel
types.
Due to the size of automotive batteries the capacity and construction requires more
careful charging and the Oximiser 900 is ideally suited for this job.
It is ideally suited for charging batteries ranging in size from 1.2Ah up-to 30Ah. This
covers batteries normally fitted to scooters, motorcycles, golf trolleys, light aircraft, ride on
lawn mowers and small cars such as classic and racing cars.
The digital display has a unique feature that provides the following information:
• Battery voltage
• Charge rate in Amp’s
• Charge mode status
• Battery on-charge indicator for a quick reference
• Battery connection errors.
The LED screen is back lit to make is easy to read, especially in garages with poor light,
or at night.
This essential piece of garage equipment is designed to be connected to a battery for
months or even years at a time.
Before charging read the manual carefully and follow the instructions.

Charging stages
The Oximiser 900 has a sophisticated system that manages the charging cycle.
The stages of this charging cycle are as follows:
1. POLARITY TEST:
Upon connection to the battery, a polarity check is made to ensure that the connections
are correct. The red coloured LED light will show a flashing warning sign if the connection
polarity is wrong.
2. ANALYSIS:
a. A fast analysis of battery condition is performed. This is to establish if the battery
is; lightly discharged, deeply discharged (sulphated), or permanently damaged/short-
circuited through internal deterioration.
b. If the battery is permanently damaged or will not accept a charge current, or if the
voltage is below 4 volts, the Oximiser 900 will not attempt to re-charge. The red
warning light will light up to prompt you to disconnect the Oximiser 900 from
the battery.
