4. Charging
Connected to power supply, the charger is working on 12V slow charging stage by default. Then, press MODE button
to select desired charging mode based on the battery to be charged. After connecting the battery, the charger will
automatically enter charging status. At first, the orange light in section 1 will illuminate, and the charger is
automatically detecting the battery. The battery charger is now in the Standby operating mode and the “12V”, “GEL”
and “POWER” LEDs are illuminated. This is the standard charging mode and if the Start Charging Button is now
pressed, the charger will immediately go into the 12V DC, Gel Cell battery charging mode.
If you require an alternative selection, proceed as follows:
Step 1
– Connect the charger to power supply.
Step 2
– Select the desired battery voltage:
“6V,NORMAL” “12V,NORMAL/SLOW” ”12V,NORMAL/FAST” ”12V,DEEP/FAST”.
SLOW Max. 1A current charging
FAST Max. 4A current charging
NORMAL
indicates a common Maintenance Free battery, e.g.
Gel Cell, VRLA, AGM & etc.
DEEP
indicates a common lead acid battery or calcium battery.
Step 3
– Connect the battery to start charging automatically.
Step 4
– Charging is completed. Disconnect clip and then the power supply to the charger.
Battery Fault
– A few seconds after switching on to the operating mode, the LED indicator
will illuminate if
the following occurs:
F.
High battery voltage - > 15 V (12 V battery) / > 7,5 V (6 V battery)
G.
Battery low voltage: 12V Battery: 5-8V 1 minute 8-10V 9 hours; 6V battery: 3.5-5V 4 hours
H.
Wrong choice: 6V for the 12V battery
I.
The charger connects to the poles of the battery reversely.
J.
Battery with voltage < 3.5 V (6 V battery) / < 5 V (12 V battery) is invalid battery, which is
beyond handling.
Under these conditions, the battery charger will stop charging. In the event of A, B or E, the battery may be
defective and we advise you to consult your nearest battery service centre. If the problem is attributable to C or
D, all you have to do is select the appropriate voltage and repeat Step 2 and Step 3 proceed to charge the
battery.
When the LED
illuminates, the battery is completely charged. The battery charger now switches to the Float
mode and doesn’t require your attention until the nest time it is used. The battery charger will automatically
maintain your battery.
If green LED
illuminates, it indicates that the charger has automatically maintained your battery.
5. When charging is complete
Switch off the mains supply, unplug the charger, and disconnect the leads from the battery posts. Inspect the
liquid levels in each cell and top up. If necessary, using the correct fluid. Replace the caps. Any surplus fluid
around the cell tops should be wiped off (this should be done with extreme care as it may be acidic/corrosive).
