22) The battery charger tolerance thresholds, as far as levels of over-voltage and overcharging are
concerned, are used only for the safeguarding of the systems of the same and have no safety
functions for the battery itself, the safety of which depends solely on the BMS, even when the
battery charger is connected to the battery, whether the latter is being charged or not.
23) Should the client want to use the battery charger on a specific on-board system and in general in
any cases of special usage, it is the client's responsibility to inform S.P.E. ELETTRONICA
INDUSTRIALE, so that the latter can draw up any necessary recommendations. In this case, the client
must provide S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE with all designs, diagrams and descriptive material
necessary. S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting
from the use of the battery charger after opening it and/or modifying it and/or inserting it into other
systems.
24) Under no circumstances can S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE be held responsible for the
malfunctioning of the batteries or the incineration/explosion of these, in so much as the safety of the
battery is the task of the BMS and not of the battery charger.
CHECKING CABLES, GRID, EARTHING
25) Do not transport the battery charger by pulling on the cables as they could be damaged.
Use the handles, if provided.
26) Before using the battery charger, check that the sleeving on the mains cable and battery cables
is in good condition. Should one of the cables be damaged, have it replaced by a S.P.E.
ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE qualified technician.
27) Check that the input voltage of the battery charger given on the data plate is in line with the
voltage available.
28) Check the compatibility of the mains plug supplied with the battery charger: the use of adaptors
is not recommended (in Canada it is against the law).
29) The battery charger must be plugged into a socket fitted with an earth wire. Should the socket
not be equipped with an earth connection, do not use the device before having a suitable socket
installed by a qualified technician.
30) The power socket to which the battery charger is to be connected must be protected by an
electrical device by law (fuse and/or automatic cut-out), capable of absorbing an electrical current
equalling the absorption of current stated on the matriculation number of the battery charger,
increased by 10%.
31) Do not open the battery charger as there are no parts which can be serviced and/or replaced by
the user. Only specialised personnel, authorised by S.P.E. ELETTRONICA INDUSTRIALE may carry out
servicing which involves opening the actual device. Electrical/electronic components inside may
cause electric shocks even if the device is not plugged in.
CHECKING BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION and CURVE
32) Before charging, make sure that the battery charger is in line with the voltage of the battery,
that the charging current suits the capacity of the battery and that the selected charging curve (for
lead-acid batteries, or for airtight GEL or AGM type batteries, Lithium Polymer or Lithium Ion
batteries) is correct for the type of battery to be charged.
33) We recommend fitting a fuse between battery charger and battery. The fuse must be installed
along the connection to the positive terminal of the battery. The rating of the fuse must be
proportionate to the nominal output current of the battery charger, the diameter of cable used and
the environment in which it is to be installed.
34) We recommend unplugging it from the mains supply before connecting and disconnecting
batteries.
35) During normal operation of the battery charger, the external surface may become hot and may
remain so for a certain period of time after it has been switched off.
36) The battery charger needs no special maintenance, only regular cleaning procedures, to be
carried out according to the type of working environment. Cleaning procedures should only be
carried out on the external surface of the battery charger. Before starting any cleaning procedures,
the mains supply cable and battery cables must be unplugged. Do NOT use water and/or detergents
in general and/or pressure washers of any kind when carrying out cleaning.
LACK OF USE
37) If safe operation of the battery charger can no longer be ensured, stop the device and
ensure that it cannot be put back into operation.
38) The specifications set out in this manual are subject to change without any notice. This
publication replaces any previously supplied information.
