EATURE
GYSTECH 3800 is designed for charging a variety of SLA (sealed
lead acid) batteries, widely used in motorbikes, cars and several
other vehicles. The batteries may be of various types i.e.
WET/Flooded (Liquid Electrolyte), GEL (Gelatin type Electrolyte,
absorbed into the plates), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries.
Gystech charges 12V batteries from 1.2 Ah to 60Ah and provides
maintenance charge for 12V batteries from 60 to 120 Ah. The
charger detects a battery with a voltage above 7.8 V.

ETTINGS
The following recommendations should only be referred to as
guidelines. For precise details, you must refer to battery
manufacturer for instructions.
Mode 14.4V/0.8A
This mode is normally suitable for batteries <14 Ah
batteries
Mode 14.4V/3.8A
This mode is normally used for WET, MF
(maintenance Free) and most GEL batteries
Mode 14.7V/3.8A
This mode is recommended for several AGM batteries.
This mode is also suitable for charging batteries in
sub-zero temperatures.

HARGING
Charging of a permanently installed battery in a vehicle
a- Before connecting or disconnecting the battery leads, the power
cord should be removed from the mains.
b- Check polarity of battery post. A positive (“+”) battery post
usually has a larger diameter than a negative (“-”) post.
c- Identify the pole of battery which is connected to the chassis
(earth). Normally the negative terminal is connected to the chassis.
d- Charging of negative earthed battery:
• Make sure the black wire (“-” pole connection) has not contact
with the fuel line or the battery.
• Connect the red wire (“+”) to the positive (“+”) pole of the
battery and the black wire (“-“) to the vehicle chassis.
e- Charging of positive earthed battery:
• Make sure the red wire (“+” pole connection) has no contact
with the fuel line or the battery.
• Connect the black wire (“-”) to the negative (“-”) pole of the
battery and the red wire (“+“) to the vehicle chassis.
Charging of a battery not connected to a vehicle
a- Before connecting or disconnecting the battery leads, the power
cord should be removed from the mains.
b- Connect the red wire (“+”) to the positive (“+”) pole of the
battery and the black wire (“-“) to the negative (“-“) pole.
Permanent connection to the vehicle battery ( cable with eyelet
terminals=accessories n°12-13)
Warning: During the mounting, do not connect the charger to the
cable with eyelet terminals.
a- connect the red cable to the positive battery's pole.
b- connect the black cable to the negative battery's pole.
c- Fix your cable to the vehicle chassis.
Make sure that the cable is not being pinched or in contact with
warm surfaces or sharp edges.
d- After this, the quick contact of the charger can be connected
After charging, disconnected the battery charger from supply
mains. Then remove the chassis connection and the battery
connection, in this order.

Connect the charger to the battery. After connection to the power
supply, the power indicator lights on .
By repeatedly pressing the selection button
displays the
charging modes in the following order , MODE 1
,
MODE 2 , MODE 3 and repeats this
cycle.
If you press
, charging mode automatically switches to the next
operation mode and begins functioning in that specific mode.
However after a full charge, if battery is not disconnected from the
charger, it remains in float charge mode, even if user switches it
over to another mode. This protects battery from being damaged.
MODE
1
(14.4/0.8A)
Press the selection button
to select Mode 1.
LED display
will
light up. If no further process is activated, the electronic system will
automatically start the charging process with the LED displaying
and charging starts with a current of 0.8A ±10%. If this
procedure runs smoothly, the LED display will remain on
during the entire charging process, until battery is fully charged up
to 14.4V±0.25V. At this stage LED display will turn off and
LED display will turn on.
MODE
2
(14.4/3.8A)
Press the selection button
to select Mode 2. The corresponding
LED display will light up. If no further process is activated, the
electronic system will automatically start the charging process with
the LED displaying and charging starts with a current of 3.8A
±10%. If this procedure runs smoothly, the LED display will
remain on during the entire charging process, until battery is fully
charged up to 14.4V±0.25V. At this stage LED display will
turn off and LED display
will turn on.
MODE
3
(14.7/3.8A)
Press the selection button
to select Mode 3. The corresponding
LED display
will light up immediately. If no further action is
taken, the electronic system will automatically start the charging
process with a set delay. In this mode, the charging current is
identical to that of Mode 2. If this procedure runs smoothly, the LED
display
remains on, the electronic system becomes active and
remains in this condition until battery is fully charged upto
14.7V±0.25V. At this stage LED display
will turn off and LED
display
will turn on.
R
ECOVERY OF DEEP DISCHARGED BATTERY
At the beginning of the charging process, GYSTECH 3800
automatically checks the voltage of the battery. If voltage is
between 7,5V and 10,5V, it begins pulse charging with small current
to recover the battery until 10,5V±0.5V.
P
ROTECTIONS
In case of problem, the charger automatically switches on
protection mode . The system will remain in that position until the
user intervene.

VERHEATING
P
ROTECTION
Gystech 3800 charger is protected by a thermal sensor. During the
charging process, if the charger becomes too hot or due to extreme
ambient temperature, the power output is automatically reduced to
protect itself from damage. The charger continues to work trickle
charge. Charger increases power automatically when the ambient
temperature drops.
