RECOMMENDED USES
This product is suitable for charging 6V and 12V lead acid, sealed lead-acid, maintenance-free and AGM
batteries of capacities 1.2Ah to 120Ah (Ampere hours). Check with your device manufacturer if you are
unsure about the suitability of this charger for use with your device.
BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read your vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for further information and advice regarding the
disconnection of the battery for charging purposes.
IMPORTANT:
This model will only recover 12V batteries with a minimum residual voltage of 7.5V, or 6V
batteries with a minimum residual voltage of 4V. If the residual voltage is lower than above figures, the
charger will not operate.
NOTE :
This charger operates automatically and will change operating status without
warning.
Maintain as much distance as is practical between the battery and charger. Monitor the temperature of the
battery during charging. If the temperature of the battery exceeds 40
0
C cease charging until the battery has
cooled to a safe temperature. Failure to do so may result in the battery exploding.
Batteries store large amounts of energy. Avoid short circuits which could result in a dangerous electrical
discharge that could result in personal injury and / or damage to equipment and property. The charger will
automatically detect the voltage (6V or 12V) and diagnose the condition of your battery, the first stage of the
5 Step charging cycle (as listed in part 4).
