General
Primepower Workshop Charger was developed for both mobile and stationary use for charging all types of lead acid
batteries. The charger offers three important types of operation for daily use in workshops and when making service
calls:

Fully automatic charging of 12V lead acid batteries (Wet cell, GEL, AGM)

Fully automatic charging of 24V lead acid batteries (Wet cell, GEL, AGM)

Power supply function for supplying batteries that have been removed from the vehicle
Installation
Primepower Workshop Charger is intended as a portable charger for use in workshops and on service calls. However,
depending on the application and field of use, it may also be practical to mount the charger on the wall in order to
set up a stationary charging station. For this purpose, the device has feet with appropriate openings for mounting
bolts. A 5 m battery charging cable can be delivered as an accessory (or as a special option when purchasing a new
charger), which can easily be exchanged with the standard charging cable that may have been part of the original
delivery package.
Function
Insert the power cable plug into a schuko socket that is part of your indoor power circuit to switch the charger on.
After connection to the mains, one of the five operating LEDs will start to blink, signaling the current status of
operation. Press the Mode key to switch from one type of operation and battery to another: press and hold the
Mode key until the LED next to the desired position lights up. Then release the Mode
key. After a few seconds, the charger will start in the program that has been selected.
If the voltage of the connected battery does not match the selection made, the orange
LED and the red error LED lights will blink alternately to indicate an error.
To set the correct voltage, press the Mode key and hold it until the LED next to the
desired 12V/24V type of battery, i.e. Standard or Gel/AGM lights up. Then release the
Mode key. After just a few seconds, the charger will start the program that has been
selected and charge the connected battery until it is fully charged. The program runs
fully automatically. As soon as the battery is fully charged, the LED display will switch
from orange to green and the charging voltage will be reduced to maintenance
charging. The battery can now be disconnected or remain connected to the charger
until it is required. During this time, the charger ensures that the battery remains fully
charged, irrespective of how long it stays connected to the charger.
