OPERATION

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING

Suitable for all type of 12V lead acid batteries between 20-110Ah.

1. Preparing the battery

Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient in each

cell. If it is below the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled water.

Note: Under no circumstances should tap water be used.

The cell caps should not be replaced until charging is complete. This allows any gases formed

during charging to escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of acid will occur during

charging.

For permanently sealed battery, it is not necessary to carry out the above checks.

2. Connection

Connect the positive charging lead (red) to the positive terminal post of the battery (marked P

or +). Connect the negative charging lead (black) to the negative terminal post of the battery

(marked N or -).

It is important to ensure that both DC clamps are making good contact with their respective

terminal posts. If the DC battery clamps are connected improperly to the battery terminals, the

reverse polarity LED will indicate the reversed polarity. If this occurs simply disconnect the

battery charger from the AC power connect the DC clamps correctly to the battery terminals.

Reconnect the charger to the AC power.

3. Charging

Insert the plug into the mains supply. The GREEN “POWER” LED will light up and the charger

will now be operating (there is no on/off switch on the charger).

If all the conditions are fine, the battery charger will start supplying charges and the AMBER

“CHARGING” indicator will light up.

Finally the charger will automatically switch to maintenance mode. The GREEN “FULL” LED will

illuminate and indicates that the battery is now fully charged.

4. When charging is complete

Switch off the mains supply, unplug the charger, and disconnect the leads from the battery

posts. Inspect the liquid levels in each cell and top up. If necessary, using the correct fluid.

Replace the caps. Any surplus fluid around the cell tops should be wiped off (this should be

done with extreme care as it may be acidic/corrosive).

Where appropriate, if the battery has been removed for charging, replace it and reconnect the

cables.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

It is essential to keep your battery regularly charged throughout the year, especially during the

winter months. In the winter the effectiveness of your car battery is reduced by the cold. Oil is

thick. Engines are difficult to start and the heater, windscreen wipers and lights are all draining

power. It is at this time that batteries have to be at peak power. If your battery is not regularly

maintained and kept fully charged, it can cause problems and a possible breakdown.

Listed are some helpful hints on how to keep your battery healthy in conjunction with your

Battery Charger.

Faulty Cells

Batteries are usually made with six cells. One of these cells can deteriorate or get damaged. If,

after several hours charging your battery is still flat, you should test the battery. Take

hydrometer readings from each cell in the battery. If one reading is lower than the others, this

could indicate a faulty cell. If necessary, get an Auto-Electrician to check your battery. One

faulty cell is enough to ruin your battery.

It is pointless to continue using it and you would be better getting a new one.
