IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please save these instructions. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions. Read all instructions and follow them with each use of this product.

CAUTION

1. To reduce risk of injury, charge lead-acid wet cell, gel or AGM automotive type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and property damage.

2. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

4. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.

5. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or other­wise subjected to damage or stress.

6. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an exten – sion cord must be used, make sure:
   a. The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of the plug on the charger;
   b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition;

7. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug, replace the cord or plug immediately.

8. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

9. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

10. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug maintenance or cleaning. Turning off con­trols will not reduce this risk.

11. WARNING-RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

    • WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-AC­ID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON IT IS OF UTMOST IMPOR­TANCE TO READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY EACH TIME BEFORE USING CHARGER.
    • To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those pub­lished by battery manufacturer and manu­facturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review caution­ary marking on these products and on engine.

12. For lead-acid batteries with a battery volt­age of less than 3V for a long time, it is recommended to replace the battery if the voltage cannot be increased using this charger;

13. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

14. this device may not cause harmful interference.

15. this device must accept any interfer­ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection, and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enter eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
8. Use the charger for charging Lead acid, Gel, Calcium, AGM and EFB batteries. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTENDED USE
This appliance must only be connected to a 6V or 12V lead-acid battery. IF need to charge for 12V LFP(lith­ium iron phosphate) batteries.CAUTION. USE THIS MODE WITH EXTREME CARE. THIS MODE SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH 12-VOLT LITHIUM BATTERIES THAT HAVE A BUILT-IN BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS). LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES ARE MADE AND CONSTRUCTED IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND SOME MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN A BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS). CONSULT THE LITH­IUM BATTERY MANUFACTURER BEFORE CHARGING AND ASK FOR RECOMMENDED CHARGING RATES AND VOLTAGES. SOME LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MAY BE UNSTABLE AND UNSUITABLE FOR CHARGING.
Before charging. confirm that the voltage of the battery is either 6V or 12V by referring to the label on the battery or from the information available rating to its application e.g. car user manual.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

1. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off,so as not to cause an arc.
2. Be sure area around battery is well-ventilated while battery is being charged.
3. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps such as valve-regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instruction.
5. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
6. Determine voltage of battery by referring to the vehicle’s manual and make sure the output voltage mode is correct.

CONNECTION
To avoid sparks which could cause an explosion, the mains supply should always be disconnected before making or breaking battery connections. Connect the battery clips or ring terminals to the battery in the following order:

1. You can connect AC power first, connect positive and negative clip to battery, and the charger will automatically recognize 6v or 12v mode charging .
2. Charge a 6V battery. Connect the AC Power.the charger selected to 6V mode. Then Connect the positive (red) clamp from the battery charger to the positive(POS,P,+) post of the battery. Connect the negative (black) clamps or from the battery charger to the negative(NEG, N,-) post of the battery. The green light blinks slowly when charging. After fully charged, the green light will lighting continuously.
3. Charge a 12V battery connect the AC Power.the charger selected to 12V mode. Then Connect the posi­tive (red) clamp from the battery charger to the positive(POS,P,+) post of the battery. Connect the nega­tive (black) clamps or from the battery charger to the negative(NEG, N,-) post of the battery. The green light blinks slowly when charging. After fully charged, the green light will lighting continuously.
4. Connect AC power first, if there is a short circuit or clamp reversal, the red light flashes quickly.

SAFETY FEATURES
This battery charger is fitted with the following safety features:

• Short circuit Protection
• Overload Protection
• Reverse Polarity Protection
• Overcharging Protection

CHARGING TIME
A partially charged battery will take less time to charge than a fully discharged battery. The approximate charging time for a battery can be calculated using the following equation:

Charging time/h = Battery capacity in Ah Amp. (charging current)
