Operating instructions.
CAUTION: Lead-Acid batteries can emit explosive gases when charged. Prevent sparks and
fire sources close to the battery. Provide good ventilation – appliance should be used only
in well ventilated areas.
Typical charge:
1. Connect the charger connectors to corresponding battery terminals. It is recommended to
connect the positive connector before connecting the negative. Preserve correct polarity (+/-).
If the battery is installed inside a vehicle disconnecting negative (chassis/ground) clamp from
the battery is advised.
2. Ensure that the charger connectors have been connected properly and securely. Connect
the charger to AC mains power source. The “Power” LED indicator and LCD display will light up.
3. Battery voltage is indicated on the LCD display.
If the battery voltage is below 3.7V or above 15V no further action will be allowed due to
safety reasons.
Note: CBC-4 charger automatically detects battery type and after 10s of user inactivity it will
automatically start charge process with 0.8A current.
3.1.
Voltage range of 3.7-7.3V
corresponds to 6V battery.
Pressing “MODE” button will activate/deactivate 6V battery automatic charge programme.
3.2.
Voltage range of 7.3-7.5V
corresponds to fully charged 6V battery or a deeply discharged
12V battery.
Pressing “MODE” button will perform battery check function. It will take about 90s, the display
will show “---” symbol. If battery's voltage is still in range of 7.3-7.5V, the connected 12V
battery is faulty and the charger will switch to standby mode. If the detected voltage is above
7.5V the charger will start battery recovery programme until 10.5V voltage is reached on the
battery.
3.3.
Voltage range of 10.5-15V
corresponds to 12V battery.
Pressing “MODE” button will activate 12V battery soft charge (0.8A) programme.
Pressing again “MODE” button will activate 12V battery regular charge (3.8A) programme.
Additional operating mode can be activated with next press of “MODE” button. It will raise the
full charge cut-off voltage from 14.4V to 14.7V (only for 12V batteries). It may improve
charging efficiency in low temperature (close to 0 Celsius degrees) conditions. This mode can
be also used to fully charge some AGM rechargeable batteries (refer to battery's manual for
further information).
4. Charging progress is indicated on LCD – flashing bar symbols. When the charge is finished, a
solid full battery symbol will be indicated.
The voltage of 7.3V corresponds to a fully charged 6V battery.
The voltage of 14.4/14.7V corresponds to a fully charged 12V battery.
5. Fully charged battery is monitored and in case of a voltage drop, the charging process will be
automatically restarted.
6. When the charging process is finished disconnect the charger from AC mains power source,
next disconnect negative connector from the battery. Next, disconnect the positive connector.
