Once connected, the charger will begin charging after approx 5 seconds.
The yellow CHARGE LED will be on during charging and this will be replaced
by the FULL LED when charging is completed. If the charger remains
connected, it will automatically switch from charging to maintenance status
to maintain the batteries during periods of storage.
Pressing the VOLTAGE button will display the current voltage level of the
battery.
During the desulphation (pulse) function the corresponding charging mode
(12V/24V) LED will be on and all other LEDs off.
The IBC 20 charger has 10 modes. STANDBY, 12V/2A,12V/4A, 12V/6A, 12V/8A,
12V/10A,12V/15A, 24V/3.5A, 24V/7.5A, 12V BOOST. Do not operate the
charger until you confirm the appropriate charge for your battery. If you

PREPARATION
1. It may be necessary to remove the battery from a vehicle to charge it.
• Always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first.
• Ensure all accessories in the vehicle are switched off to prevent sparking.
2. Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep any corrosive matter from
coming in contact with eyes.
3. If the battery can be topped up, add distilled water to each cell until the
battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. This
helps remove unwanted gas from the cell. Do not overfill. For a battery
without cell caps, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Study all the battery manufacturer's specified precautions: for example,
removing or not removing cell caps while being charged, and
recommended rates of charge.
5. Refer to the vehicle manual to find the voltage of the battery and make
sure that the output is set to the correct voltage.
6. If the charger has adjustable charge rate, charge the battery initially at the
lowest rate.
CHARGER LOCATION
1. Place the charger as far away from the battery as possible.
2. Do not position the charger above the battery during the charging
procedure. Gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
