Precautions When Charging Batteries

• Batteries can store large amounts of energy and improper handling can be dangerous. NEVER CONNECT to a battery with an unsuited voltage or other unsuitable or damaged batteries
• Keep children away from batteries and acid.
• Disconnect the supply before making or breaking the connections to the battery.
• Never try to charge a damaged battery.
• Do not exceed the recommended maximum recharge rate of your battery.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
• Never use the charger when it has received a hard blow, been dropped, or otherwise been damaged. Also check all cables prior to use. Take it to a qualified professional for inspection and repair.
• To avoid heat accumulation, do not cover the charger.
• Never charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) becomes frozen, bring the battery to a warm area to allow the battery to thaw before you begin charging.
• Place the charger as far away from the battery as is allowed by the length of the charging cables. Do not place the charger directly on top of the battery or vice versa or on a surface constructed from combustible material.
• When your vehicle´s battery is fully charged, always remove the charging cables before starting the vehicle.
• Although it is usually possible without causing problems to charge the battery when installed, we recommend to remove the battery from the car before charging. When charging the battery while installed in the car, Pro-User GmbH cannot take any responsibility for harm to your car electronic or the car itself.
• Avoid getting electrolyte on your skin or clothes. It is acidic and can cause burns. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with water. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, immediately flood your eyes with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately. Gloves and eye protection is therefore highly recommended.
• Do not touch the battery clamps together when the charger is on.
• Always keep metal objects or other materials that can short circuit battery terminals securely away from the batteries. The resulting spark or short-circuit may cause an explosion and can produce a current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with starter batteries.
• Prevent the power cord and charging cables from being stepped on, tripped over, or being damaged by e.g. sharp edges or hot surfaces.
• Never pull out the plug by the cord when unplugging the charger. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to the cord or the plug. Only use an extension cord if absolutely necessary: If an extension cord must be used, make sure that it is of sufficient size for the supply of current over the required distance and in good condition.
• Observe technical instructions of the seller or the manufacturer of your battery
• Read your car´s owner’s manual. Some vehicle manufacturers may have special requirements before charging or discharging the vehicle´s battery (e.g. fuses that have to be removed or certain security demands).

10 Stages of Charging

With the microprocessor-controlled charging steps of your Pro-User IBC charger, you are able to recharge your battery to almost 100 % of its original capacity. To ensure that your battery is kept in an optimum condition, your Pro-User charger can be attached permanently even for longer periods. The correct charging step is automatically selected by your Pro-User charger:
Step 1: Check
Checks the battery voltage to make sure battery connections are good and the battery is in a stable condition before beginning the charging process.
Step 2: Recovery
Initializes a recovery process, if needed, for deeply discharged or sulphated batteries by pulsing small amounts of current.
Step 3: Soft Start
A low charging rate protects deeply discharged or sulphated batteries.
Step 4-7: Bulk
The “Bulk” charging step uses both a high and medium charging rate until about 80% of the battery capacity.
Step 8: Absorption
The battery charger will deliver small amounts of current to provide a safe, efficient charge and limit battery gassing.
Step 9 & 10: Maintenance 1 (Trickle) & Maintenance 2
The battery is fully charged and ready to use (the battery icon stops flashing). In this step, the charger will only deliver enough current to keep the battery full. The battery voltage is continuously monitored to check if a maintenance charge should be initiated: If the terminal voltage falls below 12.8V (12V batteries) or 25.6V(24V), the charger will start a maintenance cycle until voltage reaches 13.6V (12V) or 27.2V (24V). Switching between “trickle-charging” and “maintenance-charging” is repeated indefinitely to keep the battery fully charged without the risk of overcharging. The battery charger can be left connected to the battery for an unlimited amount of time.

OPERATION

Please Read Carefully Before Using The Device
This system is intended to be used only with 12V & 24V Lead Acid Batteries, e.g. Wet, Gel, AGM (including Calcium-) and 12.8V 4-cells LiFePO4. This charger is suitable to charge…

• 12 V batteries with a capacity of 50 – 400 Ah
• 24 V batteries with a capacity of 25 – 200 Ah
• 12.8V 4-cells LiFePO4 Lithium batteries with a capacity of 30 – 200 Ah

Preparing The Battery
It is recommended to disconnect the battery from the car if possible. This will avoid possible damage to the alternator, your car´s electronic system and damage to the bodywork from possible spillage. If you remove the battery from the vehicle, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery at first. To avoid sparks, make sure all accessories of the vehicle are turned off. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. (To charge on- board requires special devices designed for marine use).
Follow your battery manufacturer´s precautions and preparatory measures, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging. Make sure the charging rate is not over your battery manufacturer´s suggestion.
For permanently sealed batteries, it is not necessary to carry out the following checks. Don´t try to open a sealed or maintenance-free 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.
ATTENTION: 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.
Connecting The Charging Cables
Connect the clamps to the battery in the following order:

1. Connect the positive charging lead (RED) to the positive terminal post of the battery (marked +).

2. Connect the negative charging lead (BLACK) to the negative post of the battery (marked -) or to the Chassis of the car. Please do not connect to fuel lineso or carburettor which are not supposed to be connected.
   It is important to ensure that all connections are making good contact with their respective terminal posts.

3. Now you can connect the charger to the mains supply and start charging by selecting the proper charging mode as explained below.

Charging
Your Pro-User IBC charger can easily be configured to charge many different types of batteries. The following recommendations should, however, only be seen as guidelines. When in doubt, always consult the battery manufacturer for further instructions.
Starting the charging process:

1. Once you have established that the battery clamps or eyelets have been correctly connected, you can start the charging process. To do so, insert the charger plug into the
   AC socket.

2. The charger will start in Standby mode, indicated by the STAND BY LED.

3. Press the mode button to select the appropriate charge mode (press and hold for three seconds to enter an enhanced charge mode) for the voltage and chemistry of your battery. The selected charge mode LED will illuminate.

2.6A, 270 seconds; then 20A, 30 seconds. That means the charger charges the battery 270 seconds on the first part to warmup the battery, then charges it 30 seconds with extremely high current to “bump’ up the battery. After that the charger will go to standby status and can be charged in a normal way.

Note: Depending on the condition of the battery, the charger adapts the charging currents to ensure optimum charging of the battery. Only during the main charging phase, the battery is charged with the maximum charging current. Shortly before the maximum charging capacity has been reached the charging current is reduced. This ensures a gentle and best possible charging up to the battery’s maximum capacity.

polarity. Check the polarity and connection and reattach the charging cables.

Defective-Battery:
– As soon as the battery charger has been connected to the mains, the charger analyses the connected battery: If the battery voltage is lower than 2.0 V or higher than 28 V, the battery is not suitable or defective and the “Defective- Battery”-symbol lights up.
– If the connected battery is charging in “RECOVER-12V”-Mode and after 3 hours the battery´s voltage is still not higher than 12V the battery is also considered as defective.

| Not Connected: This symbol flashes if no battery is connected or the connection is interrupted. Check the connection and reattach the charging cables.
| Battery-level:
This symbol will flash during the charging process. The bars indicate the progress:
1 bar (20%), 2 bars (40%), 3 bars (60%), 4 bars (80%), 5 bars (90%) If the symbol stops flashing, the battery is considered as fully charged and the charger will switch automatically to “Maintenance / Trickle charging” to keep the battery in a fully charged state.

Memory-function
The charger will return to the last charging mode when disconnected and reconnected. If this mode is not compatible with the connected battery, the charger will automatically return to Standby-mode.
Defective Battery Detection And Recovery
Even if the battery voltage is very low, the charger tries to rescue the battery. If the battery voltage is between 14V to 21V it is not clear whether a fully charged 12V battery or a deep-discharged 24V battery is connected. The charging process automatically commences with a gentle impulse charge, trying to reactivate a 24V battery until the voltage rises. This way, even batteries believed dead can be made reusable. If voltage doesn´t rise over 21 within 2 hours, the “Defective-Battery”-symbol lights up and the connected battery is considered as defect.
Zero-Volt-Battery-Charging
This function is used in lithium batteries. As lithium battery packs have Protection Circuit Modules (PCM), the Output voltage is 0V when the PCM has activated. A very small pulse current is used to sense the connection of the battery.
Maintenance / Trickle charging
After the battery has been fully charged, the charger automatically changes to trickle charging. Depending on the measured voltage, the charging process is interrupted or the battery is maintained in a fully charged condition with low charging currents. A battery can remain permanently connected to the charger without damage or adverse effect on its performance. The trickle charge can be used to maintain a battery.
Overheat-Protection
If the charger becomes too hot during charging, the power output is automatically reduced in order to protect the device from damage.
The IBC battery charger will NOT start charging, without a charging mode being selected.

1. Before charging the battery, connect the output terminals of the charger to the battery. Make sure all connections are tight and clean.
2. Make sure to choose the correct charging mode by pressing the Mode-button. A faulty selecting can cause problems and damages to your battery and car. Please see also your car´s manual for determining the right mode.
3. Settings are made by pressing the “MODE-button” and stepping forward by pressing the button one step at a time, releasing the button when the required mode is reached. After a short amount of time the charging process begins.

Stopping the Charging Process
Charging can be stopped at any time by disconnecting the supply cord.
After Charging
WARNING! Disconnect the supply before making or breaking the connections to the battery. As the released gas is flammable, avoid naked flames, glowing or electrostatically charged material and sparks in the vicinity of the battery. Always provide  adequate ventilation. Because of this risk of explosive gas, only connect and disconnect the battery leads when the mains supply is disconnected.

1. Unplug charger from the mains supply
2. Disconnect the negative charging lead (BLACK) from the negative post of the battery (marked -) or mass.
3. Disconnect the positive charging lead (RED) from the positive terminal post of the battery (marked +).
4. Clean and store battery charger.

If the charged battery is maintainable, wait some time until the bubbling stops. Inspect the liquid in each cell again and top up carefully with de- ionized or distilled water if necessary. Now replace the caps. Any surplus fluid around the cell tops should be wiped off carefully as it may be acidic. Avoid getting electrolyte on your skin or clothes. Use eye protection. Wash your hands carefully.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING! Do not open or disassemble the device. Attempting to service the unit yourself may cause the risk of electrical shock or fire. Please follow the safety
instructions when working on the device.
In a few cases , the charging process will finish very quickly, but the battery is not fully charged or does not deliver the desired voltage or power. The reason for this case could be that the battery is broken and needs to be replaced. If the device doesn’t work at all, an internal fuse might be blown. This happens always for a reason. Do not try to replace internal fuses yourself. The device has to be checked by the manufacturer or by an authorized service.
ERROR DIAGNOSTICS

Recovery Mode| The battery cannot be recovered.
| Battery capacity is too high for the selected mode. Verify the battery capacity and charge mode.
| Battery voltage is too high or too low for the selected mode. Verify the battery voltage and charge mode.
Flashing| Reverse polarity. Reverse the battery connections.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND CARE

It is essential to keep your battery regularly charged throughout the year, especially during the winter months. Low temperature reduces the effectiveness of your car battery and your motor oil is thicker. Engines are more 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:
Detecting faulty cells with a hygrometer (not possible with Lithium, sealed or maintenance-free batteries)
Starter-batteries are usually made of several cells, with a nominal voltage of 2V per cell. If one of the cells is defective, the whole battery deteriorates. If, after several hours of charging, your battery is still flat, you should test the battery cells.
Using a hydrometer, which can be purchased from most motor accessory stores, you can check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell. Take hydrometer readings from each cell in the battery. Put the fluid back into the cell after testing, taking care not to spill the fluid. If one reading is lower than the others, this could indicate a faulty cell. If necessary, get an auto-electrician to check your battery. In some cases a battery can be revived, but one faulty cell is enough to ruin your battery.
Care
Sometimes the battery may appear flat, but the reason could simply be dirty or loose connections on your battery terminals. It is important to maintain the leads on a regular basis. Clean all contacts and grease them using terminal grease. Make sure that all connections are tight.
It is essential to keep the electrolyte level above the plates, note that you should not overfill it, as the electrolyte is strongly acidic. When topping up, do not use tap water. Always use distilled or de-ionized water. If necessary have it checked by your garage.
