Operation
Note: If the connection terminals are connected
correctly, the display indicates the voltage and
the display "connected" lights up. If polarity is
reversed, the display shows 0.0 and the display
"connected" does not light up.

Disconnecting
„ †
Disconnect the device from the mains current.
„ †
Disconnect the "–"-pole quick contact-connec-
tion terminal (black)
6
from the "–"-pole of
the battery.
„ †
Disconnect the "+"-pole quick contact-connec-
tion terminal (red)
5
from the "+"-pole of
the battery.
„ †
Reconnect the plus pole connection cable of
the battery to the plus pole of the battery.
„ †
Reconnect the minus pole connection cable of
the battery to the minus pole of the battery.

Choosing the charging
mode
You can choose from different charging modes for
charging different batteries at different ambiance
temperatures. As compared to conventional car
chargers, this device has a special function for
reuse of a flat battery/rechargeable battery. You
can recharge a completely discharged battery/
rechargeable battery. Protection against wrong
connection and short circuit ensures safe charging.
The integrated electronics do not start the car char-
ger at once after connection of the battery, but only
after a charging mode has been selected.
If the connection terminals are connected to the
battery and the device is connected to the mains,
the digital display
8
will show "Connected". After
the charging mode has been selected, the display
"Charging" lights up. When charging is complete,
the display "Charged" lights up.
If the digital display is continually lit before the
battery is completely charged, there is a defect.
„ †
In this case, check again if the connection
terminals
6
,
5
are correctly attached to the
battery and whether the correct battery type
has been chosen. If the display lights up
continually anyway, there may be a defect in
the battery.
Digital display button
1
: Permits replacing of
the digital display of the voltage and the charging
progress in percent (battery %). Use this button in
order to switch between the following displays:
– Battery %: shows the charging progress of the
connected battery in percent.
– Voltage: shows the voltage of the connected
battery.
– Alternator %: Output power in percent
Battery type button
2
: Use this button to set
the type of the battery to be charged. You can
choose between different battery types here. The
battery type must be set correctly before charging
commences:
– 12 V Regular: These batteries (lead-acid bat-
teries) are usually used in cars, trucks and
motorcycles. They have venting caps and are
often marked as "low-maintenance" or "no
maintenance". This battery type is meant for
transferring energy quickly (e.g. starting an
engine). "Regular" batteries should not be used
for "Deep Cycle" applications.
– 12 V Deep Cycle: These batteries are usually
also marked as "Deep Cycle" or "Marine".
Batteries of this type are usually larger than
other battery types. This supplies less short-term
energy, but a longer-term energy transmission.
These batteries can withstand a large number
of discharge cycles.
– 12 V AGM/gel: The battery types AGM
are usually good deep cycle batteries. They
have the best "service life" when they are
recharged before they have been discharged
by more than 50%. At complete discharge,
they can withstand about 300 charge cycles.
The battery type GEL is similar to the battery
type AGM. The voltage at recharging is lower
