Maintenance and Precautions for Using
-
Check the battery technical specification very carefully before charging, to make sure it matches the charger technical data.
The charger does not charge and the LED is always green the battery manufacturer to confirm. -
Make sure charger output connect to the batteries on correct polarity.
-
Input/output connectors must be connected firmly during charging.
-
Reverse connect or short circuit are prohibited during charging.
-
If charger or battery found to be abnormal or damaged during charge, please unplug input and output wires right away.
-
If use other input wires, make sure the cable can withstand for the maximum input current of the charger, and the charger’ s input voltage is within its working scope.
-
If you need to extend the output connection cable, please make sure the cable can withstand for the maximum output current of the charger, and the voltage-drop between the charger and connection wire of the battery should be less than 1% of the battery voltage as possible. Otherwise, it may affect the effect of charging process.
-
High voltage and dangerous inside this charger, when there’s a defect, please contact with factory. Users and the maintain person who is not professional staff in our company are forbidden to open or re-develop this product.
-
Never use during a lightning storm.
-
Don’t wet the charger body, never use it in wet or rained place.
-
Never use it near the heat source or where is shined by the straight sunshine.
-
Never use it in or near the place of flammable gas.
-
Use it in the ventilated and dustless place.
-
Don’t place rod or other metal objects at vent or other openings.
-
Never cover the air vent, always leave 10cm space for it at least.
-
Don’t shake, bump or throw it strongly.
Use Method
- Close the power switch firstly.
- Connect the batteries to the output socket with output wires—positive to positive, negative to negative.
- Plug the input wires correctly and connect to the input power source then.
- Open the power switch, LED flashes blue means battery is being charged.
- LED always green means battery is fully charged, switch off the charger.
- Disconnect he input cable.
- Disconnect the output wires.

Charging Mode
-
Pre charge stage (T1): When the battery voltage is lower than its normal standard and cannot withstand high current charging, the charger will charge it at a current between lA to 8A.
This charging mode will be able to activate and repair the battery and extend the battery lifetime. When the output voltage reaches normal value or the charging time is in time period Tl, the charger will automatically switch to the Fast-Charging Stage -
Fast charge stage (T2): When the battery is in the main charging time, the charger will charge the battery with 40A current. When the battery voltage rises above 13.5v, the charger will automatically switch to the Floating Charging Stage
-
Float charge stage (T3): The charger switches to the Floating Charging Stage and the charging current gradually decreases. When the charging voltage reaches 14.6V or the charging time is in time period T3, the charger automatically turns off the output voltage and the battery charging is completed.
Charge curve as below:
Protection Features
- Over Temperature Protection: When the charger internal temperature reaches protection point, the charger will stop charging automatically and the LED is always red alarm.
- Output Short-circuit Protection: When the charger appears short-circuit, it will cut off the output current and the LED is always red alarm.
- Reverse Polarity Protection: When the battery polarities are reversely connected, the charger will cut off the connection and the LED is always red alarm.
- Output Over-Voltage protection: When the charger output over-voltage, it will cut off the output current and the LED is always red alarm.
