If you require an alternative selection, proceed as follows:
Step 1 – Connect the charger to power supply.
Step 2 – Select the desired mode:
”NORMAL/FAST” ”DEEP/FAST”
SLOW Max. 2A current charging
FAST Max. 8A current charging
NORMAL indicates a common maintenance free battery, e.g. gel, VRLA, AGM etc.
DEEP indicates a common lead acid battery or calcium battery.
Step 3 – Connect the charger to battery to start charging automatically.
Step 4 – Charging is completed. First, disconnect the charger from the mains supply. Then disconnect the negative
crocodile clamp (black) and finally the positive crocodile clamp (red).
Battery fault
A few seconds after switching on to the operating mode, the LED indicator
will illuminate if the following occurs:
A. High battery voltage > 15 V
B. Too low battery voltage between 5-8 V after 1 minute of charging and 8-10 V after 9 hours of charging (make
sure you have the correct battery type: the charger is suitable only for 12 V batteries, not for 6 V or 24 V
batteries)
C. Improper connection of the charger to battery terminals
D. Charging has stopped under stages 2 or 5. Press ”MODE” button to resume charging. If the problem still
persists, it may be caused by:
- battery is over-suplhated
- battery cannot be charged
- battery cannot hold charge
Under these conditions, the battery charger will stop charging. In the event of A, B or D, the battery may be defective
and we advise you to consult your nearest battery service center. If the problem is attributable to C, connect the
crocodile clamps to correct battery posts and start the charging again.
When green LED
illuminates, the battery is completely charged. The battery charger now switches to the float
mode and doesn’t require your attention until the next 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.
4. When charging is complete
First, disconnect the charger from the mains supply. Then disconnect the negative crocodile clamp (black) and finally
the positive crocodile clamp (red). Inspect the liquid level 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). Where appropriate, if the battery has been removed for charging, replace it and
reconnect the cables.
MAINTENANCE
It is essential to keep your battery regularly charged throughout the year, especially during the winter months. In the
winter the effectiveness of your car battery is reduced by the cold. Oil is thick. Engines are difficult to start and the
heater, windscreen wipers and lights are all draining power. It is at this time that batteries have to be at peak power.
If your battery is not regularly maintained and kept fully charged, it can cause problems and a possible breakdown.
Listed are some helpful hints on how to keep your battery healthy in conjunction with your battery charger.
Faulty cells
Batteries are usually made with six cells. One of these cells can deteriorate or get damaged. If, after several hours
charging your battery is still flat, you should test the battery. Take hydrometer readings from each cell in the battery.
