Safety Instructions

Before using the charger, it is important to read the manual and follow the instructions carefully. It is also important to ensure that the charger is used in a well-ventilated area and away from any flammable materials. The charger should only be used by a responsible person who ensures the proper use of the kit. In addition, it is recommended to remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are halfway between the upper and lower fill lines before charging the battery.

PRODUCT Technical Specifications

Charge rate: 3Amp
Battery capacity – charging: 4-60Ah
Battery capacity – maintaining : 4-120Ah

Product Usage Instructions

Connect the charger to a well-ventilated area and ensure that it is away from any flammable materials.
Before charging the battery, remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are halfway between the upper and lower fill lines.
Connect the charger to the battery using the quick connection clamps or clips provided.
Once the connection instructions have been followed, AC power is presented, power White LED ON. The charger will begin charging automatically, and 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 is fully charged, and Green LED will be ON.
To disconnect the charger from the battery, first remove the AC power socket from the outlet; then 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 charger provides multiple charging phases subjected to the Lead acid battery sensed or LiFePO4 battery sensed. Follow the charging process as detailed in the manual.
The battery charger features a smart re-activation function for dead LiFePo4 batteries where the under-voltage protection has been triggered.
For abnormal cell detection results, please refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual.
The charger is compatible only with Lead Acid batteries for long term battery maintenance. Follow the instructions for Float and Maintenance as detailed in the manual.

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.
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 Main-taining 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 de-tection 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.

CHARGE CURVE

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