HOW TO CHARGE BATTERIES
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 over long periods of time.
The mains socket should be easily accessible. If an operational error
occurs, the plug should be immediately removed from the socket.
In the event that the charger is labeled “EN60601-1”, then it satisfies the
requirements of electromedical equipment and can be used in hospital
environments, etc. The charger must not be used in the vicinity of flammable
anesthesia gases.
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 charging lead batteries. For safety reasons, individual
battery types should have a minimum capacity. Recommended battery capacity:
6V 4-12Ah, 12V 3-12Ah, 24V 1.5-12Ah. Contact the battery manufacturer for the
specific battery. Do not attempt to charge batteries that are not rechargeable.
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.
If mounted in a vehicle, the charger can only be used when the vehicle is not in use.
Technical specification: See product labeling.
1. Check the electrolyte in the battery. If necessary, top off with distilled water up to
5-10mm over the plates.
2. The charger and battery should be placed in a well-ventilated area during charging.
Do not connect the charger to the mains before it is connected to the battery.
3. Verify that the polarity is correct and connect the correct charger clips to the
positive pole.
4. Connect the other charger clip to the battery’s negative pole.
5. Connect the charger to the mains.
6. When charging is finished, disconnect the charger from the mains before you
disconnect the charger clip from the battery’s positive pole and the other from
the negative battery pole, in this order.
