b) Charging modes and functions
1
1. Wet mode (14.4 V ± 0.25 V, max. 7 A)
• This mode is suitable for wet and gel-acid batteries with a capacity of more than 14 Ah at normal ambient tem-
peratures.
• To select this mode, press the
MODE
button (1) until the
Flooded
mode indicator LED (4) lights up.
• When the battery is fully charged (14.4 V ± 0.25 V), the
FULL
charging status LED (9) lights up. The device
automatically switches to trickle charging.
2
2. AGM mode (14.7 V ± 0.25 V, max. 7 A)
• This mode is suitable for lead-fleece (AGM) batteries. This mode is also suitable for wet and gel-acid batteries with
a capacity of more than 14 Ah at low ambient temperatures.
• To select this mode, press the
MODE
button (1) until the
AGM
mode indicator LED (3) lights up.
• When the battery is fully charged (14.7 V ± 0.25 V), the
FULL
charging status LED (9) lights up. The device
automatically switches to trickle charging.
3
3. Calcium/Boost mode (16 V ± 0.25 V, max. 7 A) CAL/Boost
• This mode is suitable for calcium batteries with a capacity of more than 14 Ah at normal ambient temperatures.
• To select this mode, press the
MODE
button (1) until the
CAL/Boost
mode indicator LED (2) lights up.
• When the battery is fully charged (16 V ± 0.25 V), the
FULL
charging status LED (9) lights up. The device auto-
matically switches to trickle charging.
You can also use this mode for batteries that, according to the manufacturer, are suitable for higher charg-
ing end voltages. Please pay attention to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Lithium mode (14.4 V ± 0.25 V, max. 7 A)
and
• Lithium mode is suitable for charging LiFePO4 batteries with integrated battery management system. Follow the
battery manufacturer’s instructions.
• Press the
MODE
button (1) until the
AGM
(3) and
Flooded
(4) mode indicator LEDs flash together. After approx. 2
seconds, the LEDs light up permanently and charging can begin. The maximum charging current is 7 A.
• When the battery is fully charged (14.4 V ± 0.25 V), the
FULL
charging status LED (9) lights up. The device
automatically switches to trickle charging.
5
Power supply function (max. 7 A)
• The charger can also be used as a power supply unit (up to max. 7 A power consumption). There is no manual
switching option for selecting the power supply function. This power supply function is triggered automatically by
the charger when external consumers consume current via the battery. The maximum available current is 7 A.
• Ensure that consumers do not draw current while the charger is not yet connected to the battery. Do not connect
any products that require a continuous/stabilised operating voltage of 12 V (e.g. a computer). Ensure that no
consumers are connected to the charger before the mode can be automatically activated.
