Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Check the battery voltage and ensure it matches the voltage setting on the charger (6V or 12V). Connect the charger to the AC power outlet using the supplied AC plug.

Step 2: Connect the charger to your battery using either the quick connection clips or eyelets terminals. Ensure the red clip or terminal is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the black clip or terminal is connected to the negative (-) battery terminal.

Step 3: Once the connections are made, the charger will automatically start charging the battery. The Charging Blue LED will be ON during the charging process. When the battery is fully charged, the Maintaining Full Green LED will be ON.

Step 4: To disconnect the charger from the battery, first, unplug the AC power socket from the outlet. Then, remove the black lead and finally the red lead. Check the electrolyte levels of the battery if possible, as they may need topping up with distilled water after charging.

The Smart Battery Charger & Maintainer provides multiple charging stages:

1. Smart re-activation: wakes up dead LiFePO4 batteries.
2. Soft start: applies rising voltage and a maximum of 50% of bulk phase current to start the charging cycle.
3. Bulk stage: applies rising voltage and maximum output current to charge the battery.
4. Analysis-1 Stage: tests the battery to detect bad cells (only for Lead acid batteries). For abnormal cell detection results, refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual.
5. Absorption stage: applies a constant voltage and tapering current to ensure the battery is charged up to 85% state of charge.
6. Analysis-2 Stage: tests the battery again to detect bad cells and high levels of sulphation (only for Lead acid batteries).
7. Float and Maintenance: compatible only with Lead Acid batteries. This stage is used for long term battery maintenance. Float returns to Bulk charging when battery voltage drops below 12.5V.

Note: Please read the manual carefully and follow the instructions to ensure safe and effective usage of the Smart Battery Charger & Maintainer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 – Pre-charge Check & electrolyte level check

• Check the Battery Electrolyte level for Lead Acid battery (Not required on Sealed & Maintenance Free Batteries). If necessary,remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are halfway between the upper and lower fill lines.
• Check the 6/12V Switch on the charger and make sure it’s on the correct voltage.

STEP 2 – Connecting the battery charger to your battery

• Connect the Red lead from the charger to the positive (+) battery terminal.
• Connect the Black lead from the charger to the negative (-) battery terminal.

STEP 3 – Connect the battery charger to mains power

• Connect the battery charger to a mains powered socket.
• Turn on the mains power.

Once the connection instructions have been followed, AC power is presented, power White LED ON. The charger will begin charging automatically, the “Charging” Blue LED is ON. When full charge is reached, the “Maintaining” “Full” Green LED will be ON. The Maintaining Float Mode allows the charger to effectively be left connected to your batteries, over the course of a season for Lead acid batteries, without overcharging your batteries and maintains your battery’s full charge, for a LiFePo4 battery, it will automatically terminate the charge if the battery fully charged and Green LED will be ON.

STEP 4 – Disconnecting the battery charger from battery
The AC Power Socket from the outlet; remove the Black lead and then the Red lead. Check electrolyte levels if possible. (As they may need topping up with distilled water after charging).

THE CHARGING PROCESS

The battery charger provides the multiple charging phases subjected to the Lead acid battery sensed or LiFePO4 battery sensed.

• Smart re-activation
  The battery charger will wake up the “dead” LiFePO4 battery where the under- voltage protection has been triggered.

• Soft start
  In this phase rising voltage and a maximum of 50% of bulk phase current is applied to the battery to start the charging cycle.

• Bulk stage
  In this phase rising voltage and maximum output current is applied to the battery.

• Analysis-1 Stage
  In this phase the battery charger tests the battery in order to detect bad cells (only for Lead acid batteries). For abnormal cell detection results please refer to the troubleshooting section.

• Absorption stage
  In this phase a constant voltage and tapering current is applied to the battery to ensure it reaches 85% state of charge.

• Analysis- 2 Stage
  In this phase the charger tests the battery again in order to detect bad cells and high levels of sulphation (only for Lead acid batteries)

• Float and Maintenance
  Compatible only with Lead Acid batteries this stage is used for long term battery maintenance.

• Float returns to Bulk charging
  When battery voltage is dropped below 12.5v.

• Lithium (LiFePo4) Recharge phase
  If the battery voltage falls below 12.8V; the battery charger will automatically return to Bulk phase.
  Voltages are set for 12V mode, x 1/2 for 6V mode.

CHARGE CURVE

No float & maintenance stages for Lithium. Once the battery is fully charged, the charge is stopped.
