Figure 2: Check the level of acid in your battery. Top up with distilled water if necessary.
Caution! Battery acid is corrosive. Wash off acid splashes immediately and thoroughly with plenty of water
and consult a doctor if necessary.
Figure 3: First connect the red charging lead to the positive pole of the battery.
Figure 4: Then connect the black charging lead to the negative pole of the battery.
Figure 5: Once the battery is connected to the charger, you can connect the charger to a 230V (50Hz)
socket-outlet. It is prohibited to connect the charger to a socket-outlet with any other supply voltage.
Danger!
Hazardous electrolytic gas may arise during charging. It is imperative, therefore, to avoid
sparking and open fl ames during charging. Risk of explosion!
Figure 6: Calculating the charging time:
The charging time depends on the battery's charged condition. For an empty battery it is possible to
calculate the approximate charging time with the following equation:
A normally discharged battery is characterized by a high initial charging current that is approximately equal
to the rated current and which decreases as the charging progresses. An old battery which does not show
any decrease of charging current has a defect, e.g. short-circuiting of battery cells or ageing.
Figure 7: The only way to determine the exact condition of the battery (level of charge) is to measure the
acid density with an acidimeter.
Please note: Gases are released during the charging operation (bubbling on the surface of the battery
liquid).
Make sure the room is well ventilated.
1.28 battery charged
1.21 battery half charged
1.16 battery empty
Pull the power plug out of the socket-outlet. First disconnect the black charging lead from the negative
pole of the battery. Then disconnect the red charging lead from the positive pole of the battery. Screw or
press the battery plugs back in place.
SERVICING AND CLEANING THE BATTERY AND CHARGER
● Make sure that your battery is always fi tted securely in.
● Check that the battery is properly connected to the vehicle's electric system.
● Keep the battery clean and dry. Apply a little acidfree and acid-resistant grease (Vaseline) to the
terminals.
● The level of acid in non-maintenance-free batteries should be checked about every 4 weeks. Top up with
distilled water as necessary.
● Keep the charger in a dry room. Remove any signs of corrosion from the charging terminals
