3.2. BATTERY CHARGING:
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and follow all safety instructions in Section 1 before attempting to use the
AUTOCHARGE4, AUTOCHARGE5 or AUTOCHARGE10.
WARNING!
It is advised before charging, to disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle to prevent damage
to sensitive onboard equipment. Remember to provide a back-up supply for onboard electronics and to retain any
security codes. Check Sealey Model No. VS207 for this function.
NOTE:
FOR A VERY FLAT BATTERY, DISCONNECT CABLES FROM BATTERY TERMINALS AND ALLOW BATTERY TO REST FOR 30 MINUTES
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE.
3.2.1. AUTOCHARGE4 and AUTOCHARGE5 can only be used to charge 12V batteries. Check the voltage of the battery is
12V before commencing charging.
3.2.2. AUTOCHARGE10 can be used to charge 6V and 12V batteries. Before connecting to the battery or to the mains supply
check the voltage of the battery and set the voltage selection switch to the appropriate value.
3.2.3. If the battery is not a sealed unit, remove the filler caps and check the level of the electrolyte. If it is below the recommended
level, top up using distilled water.
Do not
use tap water under any circumstances. To prevent acid splashing during the
charging proccess, replace the filler caps but do not tighten them, allowing gases to escape.
3.2.4 If sealed unit, it is uneccassary to carry out the checks outlined in 3.2.3.
3.2.5. Connect power clamps to the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
3.2.6. Plug the charger into the mains power supply. The charge status LED should now be illuminated red and the ammeter needle over to
the right.
3.2.7. When the charge status LED turns to green the battery is fully charged and the ammeter needle should be over to the left.
3.2.8. Unplug the unit from the mains before removing the clamps from the battery.
3.2.9 Carefully wipe any spillage of acid from the battery top and replace battery caps, if removed.
3.2.10 For long term maintenance of batteries on irregularly or seasonally used vehicles the charger can be connected to a battery for an
indefinite period - the intelligent circuitry constantly monitoring the voltage and maintaining the charge level at optimum.
NOTE: If left on charge this way, you must check the battery's electrolyte level at regular intervals.
