2.
Connect the output conductor with red clamps to the positive (+) pole of the battery.
3.
Connect the output conductor with black clamps to the negative (-) pole of the battery.
4.
Caution:
ensure that both clamps have adequate contact with the battery terminals.
HOW TO USE THE BATTERY CHARGER
1.
Once the output clamps have been connected to the battery, connect the power cord to the
mains socket, making sure that the voltage corresponds to the rated voltage of the charger.
2.
With the charger in “stand-by” mode, set the appropriate charge parameters using the mode
button to select the correct voltage.
For
12V batteries
the following charging parameters can be selected
via the “Function" button:

Lithium batteries are equipped with a BMS that in some cases can prevent the start of the
charging cycle; in this scenario to activate the charge process Press and hold the
“Function" button for 5 seconds, after setting the charger in lithium mode.
4A-8A-16A
AGM
The
RECONDITION
mode is for WET and AGM batteries that have long been inactive and have an
acid stratification.
Caution:
due to the high voltage that is reached during this charging cycle,
recovery must be carried out with battery removed from the vehicle. A battery recovery connected to
the vehicle could cause damage to the on-board electronics. (Only in 12V mode)
After selecting the appropriate 12volt function the charging process starts automatically after 5 seconds.
