WARNING: The CHARGE MODE setting affects all charge channels,
simultaneously. DO NOT mix battery types on various charge channels. For
example, Large Capacity batteries cannot charge with Low Capacity
Batteries; nor may Lithium batteries be mixed with Lead Acid Batteries. The
MODE Select is accessed via the MENU button.
WARNING: Each Charge Channel may only be connected to a single
battery that is electrically isolated from all other batteries that may be
connected to other channels. For example, a 48V battery pack that is
comprised of (4) 12V batteries that are interconnected in an electrical
Series Configuration, such as those found in Golf Carts, may not be
connected to (4) 12V channels of this battery charger. Non-Warranty
Damage to the charger may occur.
AC and DC Cable Connections
:
o
Connect the Power Supply output cable to the chargers input Power
Jack located on the back side of the 10-Channel Charger.
o
Connect the DC Cord Output Charge Cable(s) to any front side Output
Jack Charge Channel.
o
Then connect the DC Cord’s Red Clamp to the Battery’s Positive (‘+’,
Pos.) Terminal and the DC Cord’s Black Clamp to the Battery’s Negative
(‘-’, Neg.) Terminal.
o
Reversing the output connection to a battery should be avoided but will
not damage the charger. When connected in reverse, charging will not
start – disconnect the charger clip connections from the battery and
remake the connections.
o
Approximately 3 seconds after connection to a battery, the charger starts
its Multi-Stage charging process.
DO NOT connect more than one battery to a single channel.
DO NOT connect multiple outputs to a single battery or allow Red/Black clips
to touch each other.
DO NOT connect charge outputs to batteries installed in a battery pack
configuration, such as those found in golf carts and other similar applications.
Always plug output cords into charger first, then connect clips to battery
terminals.
Battery discharged to less than 2.4 volts will not pass the charger’s initial
battery test and that channel, consequently, may not turn on.
Dependent on a battery’s capacity and level of charge, it can take several
hours to days to fully charge/maintain battery.
The charger is factory preset to charge in MODE-1, optimizing it for SLI-Type
Automotive Batteries. Do not change this setting if the charger is being used
to charge typical car or truck batteries. If a more applicable setting is desired,
please consult the following Charge Mode Values And Setting Table below.
