STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (240Vac)
•
The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.
Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it’s likely
that the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed. Refer to Trouble Shooting Page for
further information.
THE CHARGING PROCESS:
1) 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. It’s also senses whether the
battery is still connected in the vehicle.
2) Bulk Charging - Amber Charging LED ON
Uses the maximum charge output (1A) until the battery voltage reaches 7.2V/14.4V.
3) Float Mode - Full / Float Green LED ON
This stage allows you to keep the charger connected 24/7 to ensure your battery is
well maintained and kept 100% fully charged. Float mode will maintain the battery at
a constant 6.75V/13.5V.
STEP 4 - Disconnecting the Battery charger from Battery
•
If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
(1) Switch OFF and Remove the AC Power Socket from the outlet.
(2) Remove the Black lead and then the Red lead.
•
If the battery is still in the vehicle:
(1) Switch OFF and Remove the AC Power Socket from the outlet.
(2) Remove the lead from the vehicle chassis.
(3) Remove the lead from the battery.
Note: Check electrolyte levels if possible after charging as they may need topping up with distilled
water. (This does not apply to sealed maintenance free batteries)
