Proper use

The charger is designed for charging non-maintenance-free or maintenance-free 6 V/12 V starter batteries (lead-acid batteries) and for lead gel/ AGM batteries which are used in motor vehicles.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

Technical data

Mains voltage: ………………….. 220-240 V ~ 50 Hz
Power rating max: …………………………………. 70 W
Nominal output voltage: ……….. 6 V DC / 12 V DC
Nominal output current at 6 V: …………………… 2 A
Nominal output current at 12 V: ………….. 2 A / 4 A
Battery capacity: ……………………………..3-120 Ah

Before starting the equipment

Please also refer to the instructions in the owner’s manuals for the car, radio, navigation system, etc.
Notes on automatic charging The charger is a microprocessor-controlled automatic charger, i.e. it is suitable in particular for charging maintenance- free batteries and for the long-term charging and maintenance-charging of batteries that are not in constant use, e.g. for classic cars, recreational vehicles, lawn tractors and the like. The integrated microprocessor enables charging in several steps. The final charging step, maintenance charging, maintains the battery capacity at 95­100% and therefore keeps the battery fully charged at all times. The charging operation does not need to be monitored. However, do not leave the battery unattended if you charge it over an extended period of time, so that you can disconnect it from the mains power supply in the event of a fault in the charger.

B Charging of a 12 V battery (lead-acid battery, AGM battery, and GEL battery) with 4 A charging current.
C Charging of a 12 V battery (lead-acid battery, AGM battery, and GEL battery) in winter mode with 4
A charging current and an ambient temperature of ­ 20°C to +5°C. Danger! Do not charge any frozen batteries.
D Charging of a 6V battery (lead-acid battery, AGM battery, and GEL battery) with 2 A charging current.

F Clamps are wrongly connected (reverse polarity) or there is a short-circuit
G Battery voltage display in volts H Charge status of the battery in percent (1 increment = 25%) and charging procedure (increment in the battery symbol flashes = battery charging in progress; all increments are lit = battery is fully charged).
5.2 Charging settings
Press the Mode button (Fig. 1/Item 1) to set the charging functions 12 V/2 A (Fig. 2/Item A), 12 V/4 A (Fig. 2/Item B) and 12 V/4 A Winter Mode (Fig. 2/Item C) (see section 5.1).
5.3 Charging the battery:

• Release or remove the battery stoppers (if fitted) from the battery.
• Check the acid level in the battery. If necessary, top up the battery with distilled water (if possible).
• Important. Battery acid is aggressive. Rinse off any acid splashes thoroughly with lots of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
• First, connect the red charging cable to the positive pole of the battery.
• Then connect the black charging cable to the bodywork of the vehicle away from the battery and the petrol pipe.
• Warning! Under normal circumstances, the negative battery pole is connected to the bodywork and you proceed. In exceptional cases, it is possible that the positive battery pole is connected to the bodywork (positive earthing). In this case, connect the black charging cable to the negative pole on the battery. Then connect the red charging cable at a point away from the battery and the petrol pipe.
• After the battery has been connected to the charger, you can connect the charger to a socket supplying 230 V ~ 50 Hz. The equipment automatically recognizes the rated voltage (6V or 12 V) of the connected battery. The LCD display lights up green. Do not connect it to a socket that supplies any other mains voltage. Important! Charging may create dangerous explosive gas and therefore you should avoid spark formation and naked flames whilst the battery is charging. There is a risk of explosion!
• If the battery terminals are connected in reverse, the protection against swapped poles ensures that the battery and the charger do not get damaged. If this is the case, remove the charger from the battery and from the socket-outlet. Start charging again after waiting for approx. 3 minutes.

Calculating the charging time (Fig. 3)

The charging time depends on the charge status of the battery. If the battery is fully discharged, the approximate charging time up to approx. 80% charged can be calculated using the following formula:
Charging time/h = Amp. (charging current)Battery capacity in Ah
The charging current should be 1/10 to 1/6 of the battery capacity.
Note! Gases are released during the charging process. It is essential that you ventilate the rooms well.
As long as the equipment is charging, the LCD display shines green. If charging is complete, the LCD display shines blue.
5.4 Finishing charging the battery

• Pull the plug out of the socket. · First disconnect the black charging cable from the bodywork.
• Then release the red charging cable from the positive pole on the battery.
• Important! In case of positive earthing, first, disconnect the red charging cable from the bodywork and then the black charging cable from the battery.
• Screw or push the battery stoppers back into position (if there are any).

5.5 Battery tester for 12 V batter ies
Connect the charger to the battery. The LCD symbol “H” (Fig. 2) shows the charge status (1 increment = 25%). The battery voltage is shown on the LCD display.

Overload cut-out

The charger is equipped with electronic protection against overload, short circuit and swapped poles. One or more fine fuses are also fitted. If the fuse suffers a defect it must be replaced by a new fuse with the same amp value. If necessary, please contact our customer service center.

Maintenance and care of the battery

• Ensure that your battery is always fitted securely.
• A perfect connection to the cable network of the electrical system must be ensured at all times.
• Keep the battery clean and dry. Apply a thin coating of grease to the connection terminals using an acid-free, acid-resistant grease (Vaseline).
• Check the level of the acid in batteries that are not maintenance-free versions approximately every 4 weeks and top up with distilled water if necessary.

Cleaning, maintenance, and ordering of spare parts

Danger! Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents, and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
• Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
• The charger should be placed in a dry room for storage. Any corrosion must be cleaned off the charging terminals.

8.2 Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
8.3 Ordering replacement parts:
Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
• Article number of the machine
• Identification number of the machine
• Replacement part number of the part required
