charging lead batteries.
For safety reasons,
individual battery types
should have a minimum
capacity. Recommended
battery capacity: 6V

1.5-12Ah. Contact the
battery manufacturer for
the specific battery. Do not
attempt to charge batteries
that are not rechargeable.
BATTERIES
The Universal Battery Char-
ger (UBC-24) is designed to
charge lead-acid and lithium
batteries for the LR-24,
LR-20 Series (and earlier
Smith-Root 24V models)
Electrofisher Systems.
The UBC-24 is a charger tai-
lored for maintenance-free
batteries as well as other
types of lead-acid batteries.
The UBC-24 has a fully auto-
matic, three stage charge
sequence with an electroni-
cally timed routine and a
desulfation mode.
Stage 1 -
Constant Current
Mode. The charger starts
with maximum current until
the battery reaches a preset
voltage (red LED light).
Stage 2 -
Timed Constant
Voltage Mode. The charge is
electronically controlled with
a fixed voltage ceiling which
prevents excess battery gas
emission and over-charging
(orange LED light).
Stage 3 -
Final Mode. Battery
is fully charged (green LED
light).
Full electronic protection is
provided against short circuit
and reverse battery connec-
tion.
BATTERIES: BATTERY CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Old, sulphated batteries usually have a reduced capacity and are difficult
to charge. The charge current will fall quickly as if the battery had received a full
charge. Even though a battery in this condition should be replaced, it will retain a
small charge.

CHARGING
READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THE CHARGER
The battery charger is
only designed for indoor
use and should not come
into contact with water
or dust. In order to avoid
overheating, the charger
should not be covered when
it is in use.
Chargers filled with molding
material are splash-proof,
but must not be immersed
in water.
The socket should be easily
accessible. If an operational
error occurs, the plug
should be immediately
removed from the socket.
The charger contains
dangerous voltages and
the cover should not be
removed. All service or
maintenance work should
be carried out by qualified
personnel who can get
assistance by contacting
the manufacturer’s agent. A
fuse protects the product
against short-circuiting
and overloading. The
charger is designed for
