Introduction

The SKC Ltd standard single chargers provide a fixed 16 hour constant current charge for SKC Ni Cd and NiMH battery packs. At the end of the 16 hour charge, the chargers automatically switch to a trickle charging rate to prevent overcharging of the battery pack.
The chargers are supplied with four inter-changeable electrical supply input plugs suitable for use in the United Kingdom, Europe, USA / Canada and Australia / New Zealand.

Warnings
These chargers are designed for use specifically with the stated SKC pump models and are not intended for use with any other SKC or non-SKC products. Use of the charger with unintended products may cause damage to the product and / or the charger.
These chargers must not be used to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
These chargers are for indoor use only, and must therefore be protected against exposure to moisture.
Operating temperature range – 0°C to +40°C, 95% RH non-condensing.
Use of a non-SKC charger to charge SKC pump battery packs may cause damage to the battery pack and / or pump and will void the battery pack and / or pump warranty, also the intrinsic safety rating of the pump may be invalidated.

Charger Operation

  1. Select the correct electrical supply input plug for your region and fit it to the charger power supply unit.
  2. Plug the charger power supply unit into an electrical supply socket and switch on the electrical supply. The charger LED indicator will not be illuminated at this point.
  3. Plug the charger output connector into the charging socket on the battery pack. The charger LED indicator will illuminate continuously to indicate that the charger is charging at full rate.
  4. After the fixed 16 hour charging period the charger will automatically switch to a trickle charging rate, and the LED indicator will flash on and off to indicate this.
  5. It is recommended to disconnect the charger from the battery pack after a period of 24 hours to maintain optimum battery life and performance.
  6. It is recommended to disconnect the charger from the electrical supply when not in use to save the energy the charger consumes when on standby.
