STEP 4 – SET BATTERY VOLTAGE
Set the battery charger to either 12V or 24V depending on what battery voltage you
are charging. For 24V vehicles the batteries can be charged together, however it is
recommended to charge the two 12V batteries separately.
STEP 5 –
Set the charge control to ‘AUTO’
STEP 6 –
WAIT for the ‘END’ message to be displayed on the LED screen.
STEP 7 –
Set the charge control to ‘MANUAL’
STEP 8 –
Turn the adjustable output dial until the LED screen displays the appropriate
current rating for the battery size being charged. Refer to the table below for
recommended current setting and charge times.

STEP 9 –
WAIT for the battery voltage to reach 16V (12V Mode) or 32V (24V Mode),
this may take up to 12 Hours. Once the battery voltage has reached 16V (12V Mode)
or 32V (24V Mode) the battery will now be fully charged to provide a full electrolyte
reading greater than 1.250 SG.
STEP 10 – DISCONNECT THE CHARGER FROM THE BATTERY
a. Ensure the battery charger is off and is disconnected from the 240V supply.
b. Remove the leads from the battery.
c. Check the electrolyte if possible. The electrolyte may need to be topped up after charging.
