Product Description
This series of Multi-bank charger (later called the charger) is a multistep car battery charger for charging and charge
retention of 6V or 12V lead batteries. These may be the types AGM-Ca/Ca-GEL-MF-VRLA with electrolyte solution or
gel. The charger is a 6V or 12V per circuit charger, perfect for automotive, motorcycle and marine repair and
maintenance shops. The charger has four-stage charging profile to charge, improve, and float the battery so it is ready
when you are. Constant current charging and regulated voltage patterns allow the battery to be recharged fully and
safely without the fear of overcharging. The lights above each station indicate the stage of charge so there is no
guesswork in the shop. The charger is used in battery rotation, when a battery is removed from service during repair or
in preparing batteries for sale.
The charger is designed for use by commercial and serious vehicle enthusiasts who need the ability to fully charge up
two/three/four/five 6-volt or 12-volt batteries simultaneously and maintain each at its proper storage voltage without the
damaging effects caused by some trickle chargers. Compatible with all AGM (absorbed glass mat), sealed
maintenance free and flooded batteries commonly found in everything from some automotive/farm equipment to
motorcycles, ATV's, and personal watercraft, this lightweight, microprocessor controlled unit provides safe, constant, 4-
step charging current for every vehicle stored in your shop.
The first fully automatic, constant-current battery charger designed to charge and/or maintain up 6-volt/12-volt batteries
simultaneously at 1.5AJ2A15A, the charger utilizes a 4-step charging program (initialization, bulk charge, absorption
mode and float mode), that allows users to connect the charger to up to three/four/five batteries, either in or out of a
vehicle, with the confidence that all are being maintained at optimal performance levels. This makes it extremely useful
for battery rotation, where a battery is removed from service during repair or in preparing batteries for sale. It is also
safe for your batteries, with the built-in ability to automatically switch its output voltage to storage or float level that
eliminates the need to worry about the damaging effects of overcharging, and the resulting need to check on the
condition of a charging battery. If or when the battery voltage drops too far under load, this same smart technology
resumes output power and the charging cycle begins again.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - BURST HAZARD
Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause injury to persons and damage Use the unit for charging/boosting a LEAD-ACID battery only.
WARNING - SHOCK HAZARD
Do not operate unit with damaged cord or plug; or if the unit has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way. Do not disassemble the unit; incorrect reassembly may result in a risk-of
electric shock or fire.
NEVER submerge this unit in water, do not expose it to rain, snow or use when wet.
To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance or
cleaning.
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal
battery operation. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the charger you
read this manual and follow instructions exactly.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery.
