Safety operation

• Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection, when working with lead-acid batteries.
• Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work with or near a lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes! If acid enters your eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
• Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, neck laces, 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.
• Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the battery. Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery or another electrical devise. Sparking may cause an explosion.
• Always operate battery charger in an open well ventilated area.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• 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 important that each time before using your charger, you read this manual and follow the instruction exactly.
• To reduce risk of battery explosion , follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and on engine
• Use the charger in door only , do not expose it to rain.
• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases!
• Do not use battery charger for other types of batteries, these may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
• Use only attachments recommended or sold by manufacturer. Use of non-recommended attachments may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug not by the cord. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to cord or plug .
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug. Have cord replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped , or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified professional for inspection and repair.

Technical specifications

The manufacturer reserves the right to change the manual’s content or function without preliminary notification of the users.

Preparing to charge

• Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner s manual.

• If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to
  cause an arc.

• Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

• Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer.

• This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturers recharging instructions.

• Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.

• Be sure area around battery is well-ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be force fully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material such as a fan.

8. Indicators.

   • FAULT. This light is on when any of the operating fault occur.
   • CHARGING. This light is on while the charger is charging a battery.
   • FULL.This light is on while the battery is ful.

9. Digital display.

Digital display

In few case , charge finish very soon but the battery is not able to deliver expected power. The battery may has lost capacity to hold power and has to be replaced.

Notes:

1. The displayed charging current is lower than the selected charging rate when the battery is nearly full.

2.  If the battery being charged has internal short cell, the FAULT LED will light.
   Using a voltmeter, determine the voltage of the battery and if it is under 12V, the battery is probably beyond repair or recharging, and will need to be replaced. If the voltage is over 12V, made sure there is no loading on the battery, resume the process again.

3. If battery don’t accepting a charge , make sure that the charger is plugged into a “live” 220V AC outlet. Unplug charger and check battery connections – ensure that there is a good connection with the battery terminal and/or vehicle chassis. Check to be sure that the battery is not sulfated.

4. If the battery to be charged is extremely cold it can not accept a high rate of charge, so the initial charge rate will be slow. The rate of charge will increase as the battery warms.

Charging

1. When you are sure the battery leads are correctly placed, connect the power cord to the power outlet to begin charging. Power ON.
2. Set the battery tape by pushing the button 2 and set mode by pushing the button 3.
3. Indicator CHARGING light. Continue charging battery until charger’s LCD displayer shows “FUL”.
4. Charging can be stopped at any time by disconnecting the supply cord or by push mode button 1.
5. .If taultlamp 3 is on during charging, the reason tor this is due too An interruption during charging, due to a loose connection or because the battery has ceased to work.
   • The battery has become severe sulphated or dead and needs to be replaced.
   • The battery has a high self-discharge rate and may need to be replaced.
     WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge a frozen battery.
     DO not leave the charger to battery without main power connected.

2. Press “12V DC output” button under standby mode
3. Turn on appliance
   NOTE: The actual output voltage is 13.0-13.5 V , which is same as the voltage of cigarette socket in vehicles when the engine is turned on. Make sure the appliance used is less than 140W.

Charging battery in vehicle

• Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
• Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS P +)/battery post usually/has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG -) post.
• Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
• If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from P //battery charger to POSITIVE(P05 +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
• If positive post is grounded to the chassis, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG N -)// ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
• Continue charging battery until charger’s LCD displayer-“shows FUL”.
• When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord first, remove clip from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
• Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.

9.Charging battery out of vehicle
