Charging a battery
The following recommendations should only be seen as guidelines. When in doubt, always consult the manufacturer
for further instructions.
1.
Connecting the charger to the battery.
The charger’s output leads have color-coded battery clips: RED IS POSITIVE (+) and BLACK IS NEGTIVE (-).
Connect these directly to the corresponding connectors on the battery posts.
2.
Connect the charger to an AC power socket. The Power LED will light on.
3.
Press the button to select the charging program. Settings are made by pressing the “MODE-button” and
stepping forward by pressing the button one step at a time, releasing the button when the required mode is
reached.
4.
Stop charging at any time by disconnecting the mains cable from the wall socket.
Settings explained
1.
When you are sure the battery leads are correctly connected, plug the power cord to the power outlet to
start charging. If the battery leads are wrongly connected, the fault lamp lights up.
2.
Set the proper charging mode for the battery by pushing the button until the correct setting lights up.
3.
The charging lamp lights up indicating charging. The maintenance lamp lights up when the
battery is fully charged and turns into maintenance charge. If the voltage drops the charger sends current to
the battery. The charger can be connected for months.
4.
If the battery voltage is less than 10 volt, the battery charger will give impulse to arouse the battery, the
repair lamp lights up. The battery charger will turn to normal charging mode when the battery
reaches 12 volt again.
5.
If the battery is slightly sulphated, the battery charger will try to desulphate it and the repair lamp
lights up. Repairing may take 0,5-2hour. The battery charger will turn to normal charging mode when
battery is recovered. If the battery can’t be recovered, the fault lamp will light and the charging stops.
6.
Charging can be stopped at any time by disconnecting the supply cord or by pushing the button.
7.
If the fault lamp lights up during charging, this can have several reasons:
-
Due to a loose connection or because the battery has ceased to work.
-
Due to a sever sulphated or dead battery that needs to be replaced.
-
Due to a high self-discharge rated battery that may need to be replaced.
