TEMpERATURE cOMpENSATION
A sensor adjusts the charging voltage if the temperature
deviates from –20°C to +45°C. A high tempe rature decreas-
es the voltage and a low temperature increases the voltage.
VOLTAGE cOMpENSATION
due to the voltage drop in the cables, the actual voltage at
the battery clamps may be lower than the charger output
voltage. Special circuitry inside the unit monitors the true
input voltage to the battery and adjusts the output voltage
of the unit accordingly. This maximizes charging efficiency.
REVERSE-pOLARITy pROTEcTION
This unit has a reverse-polarity protection function. If the
clamps are connected in reverse, the REd “ERROR” LEd
will illuminate and the charging process will not start. If this
happens, unplug immediately from the mains, connect the
red crocodile clip to the positive (+) battery post, and the
black crocodile clip to the negative (-) post, then plug into
the mains power and the charging process will start.
SHORT-cIRcUIT pROTEcTION
Should you accidentally touch the crocodile clips together
whilst the mains power is on, the unit will not start charging.
Unplug from the mains, disconnect and start the process
again, being careful not to touch the clips together.
cHARGER MEMORy
In the event of a black-out or loss of AC power, the charger
will automatically memorize the charging state. When AC
power is restored, charging will continue in the previous
charging state.
ATTENTION!
once the charger clamp is disconnected from the battery,
this memory will be erased and charging will restart from
the first charging state.
OTHER fEATURES

OpERATION – pLEASE READ cAREfULLy BEfORE USE
Suitable for 6/12 V normal lead acid, sealed, leisure,
gel or AgM batteries between 5-120 Ah.
1. pREpARING THE BATTERy
Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the
level of 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 occur during charging. These
checks are not required for permanently sealed batteries.
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 -). It is important to ensure that
both dC clamps make good contact with their respective
terminal posts.
Once you connected the 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.
