INTRODUCTUCTION
These chargers are manufactured using the highest quality components, latest
manufacturing processes & systems, along with very strict quality control, to achieve the
highest quality levels in the industry.
Incorporating a unique micro-processor controlled
eight stage
charging system, this system
intelligently assesses battery condition, state of charge and size, and produces a charge
rate to suit the battery, making battery charging safer, faster and much more effective in
charging and maintaining a 12 Volt battery or small battery banks.
The microchip controlled automatic eight stage charging system provides accurate
detection, monitoring and control of the charging output voltage and current in turn
preventing serious over charge or short charging of the battery. This prevents battery plate
oxidization, evens the consistency of the battery electrolyte, minimizes battery temperature
rising while charging recovers the battery capacity faster and extends battery life.
The “Lead-acid (AGM) / Calcium” or “Gel” selector switch alters the charging stage voltage
parameters allowing all types of batteries to be effectively charged and ready for optimal
use.
The Zero volt start allows the charger to be connected to very flat batteries, and along with
the Desulphation stage, give these batteries the best possible chance in recovery.
Temperature compensated voltage adjustment automatically adjusts the charging voltage
according to the environmental ambient temperature. In summer, this function helps
decrease battery heat generated while charging, thus minimizing the loss of battery
electrolyte and preventing battery deformation caused by excessive heat during charging
cycles.
Whilst charging the battery, it is common to see the voltage and percentage of charge LED
display to fluctuate up and down. When a battery is first connected, voltages will climb well
over 12V and later drop back down. This will have an effect on the percentage of remaining
charge display as the on-board software will calculate this figure based on the battery
voltage reading.
After the battery charger finishes its bulk and absorption stages, the charge voltages will
slowly settle back down, thus giving an accurate reading of remaining charge, so please
allow appropriate time to gather an accurate reading of percentage of remaining charge.
Intended Use
The SP61080 (12 Volt, 6 Amp) Battery Chargers are great for the home handyman or
small workshop wanting to
efficiently charge 12 Volt lead acid automotive, motor cycle,
marine and industrial type batteries, Including Calcium-Calcium (Cal-Cal), Calcium-Silver
(Cal-Ag), Lead Antimony,
Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) and
Gel battery types.
These chargers are intended only for use in non-explosive and dry environments.
Never use or put the charger down in any liquid, oil or water.
