GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GYSFLASH 1.12 PL is designed to charge lead-acid batteries (Gel, AGM, Liquid, …) and lithium of the Lithium Iron Phosphate
(LFP / LiFePO4).commonly used for motorcycles, water scooters and many other small vehicles.

This charger is suited for the charge of:

• Lead-acid batteries 12 V (6 elements in series of 2V) from 2 Ah to 32 Ah, and up to 100 Ah for charge support.
• They charge 12V LFP batteries (4 cells in series of 3V) from 0.5 Ah to 20 Ah, and up to 50 Ah for charge support.

STARTUP

1. Connect the charger to the battery using the proper accessory (clamps, lugs, etc…).

2. Plug the charger to the mains (single phase 220-240Vac 50-60Hz).

3. Select the mode by pressing the button. After roughly five seconds, the charge starts automatically.

4. During the charge, the device indicates the charge progress. When the indicator blinks, the battery is ready to start the vehicle.
   Once the indicator stays on, the battery is fully charged.

5. The charge can be interrupted at any time by unplugging the mains plug or pressing the button.

6. After the charge, disconnect the charger from the mains, then disconnect the clamps from the battery.

CHARGE MODES

• Modes and Options description :
  Lead CHARGE mode (14.4 V/1 A) :
  Mode for charging 12 V lead-acid batteries from 2 Ah to 32 Ah and up to 100 Ah for charge support. Automatic seven step charge cycle.
  COLD/AGM option (14.7 V/1 A) :
  Option to change the charging voltage to 14.7 V for battery charging in cold weather (less than 5°C) or for some AGM batteries or batteries with plugs.
  Lithium CHARGE mode (14.4 V/1 A) :
  Mode for charging 12 V lithium batteries from 0.5 Ah to 20 Ah and up to 50 Ah for charge retention.
  Automatic charging cycle in eight steps.
  Some Lithium batteries incorporate UVP protection (Under Voltage Protection) which disconnects the battery in case of deep discharge. This protection prevents the charger from detecting the battery. In order for the Gysflash 1.12 PL to be able to charge the battery, it is necessary to deactivate the UVP protection. To do this, select the Lithium charging mode and press the button for 10 seconds. The charger will then deactivate the UVP protection and automatically start charging.

• Load curve Lead:
  The GYSflash 1.12 PL uses an advanced 7-step lead charging curve that guarantees the optimal performance of your lead battery.

• Step 1: Analysis
  Analyses the battery state (charge level, polarity inversion, wrong battery…)

• Step 5: Charge (1 A)
  Maximum current fast charge to reach an 80% charge level.

• Step 2: Recovery (0.5 A)
  Recovering damaged elements due to a prolonged deep discharge.

• Step 6: Absorption (14.4 V or 14.7 V with AGM option)
  Constant voltage charging to bring the charge level to 100%.

• Step 3: Test
  Sulfated battery test

• Step 7: Floating charge (13.6 V)
  Maintains battery charge level at its maximum.

• Step 4: Desulfation (15.8 V)
  Battery desulfation algorithm.

• Lithium charging curve :
  The GYSflash 1.12 PL uses an advanced 8-step Lithium charging curve that guarantees the optimal performance of your LFP battery

• Step 1: Analysis
  Analyses the battery state (charge level, polarity inversion, wrong battery…)

• Step 5: Test
  Charge conservation test.

• Step 2: Recovery (0.2 A)
  Recovery algorithm following a deep discharge.

• Step 6: Supplement
  Reduce current charge to reach 100% charge level.

• Step 3: Charge (1 A)
  Fast charging at maximum current allows reaching 90% of the charge level.

• Step 7 : Equalization / balancing (14.4 V)
  Balancing the battery cells

• Step 4: Absorption (13.8 V)
  Constant voltage charging to bring the charge level to 98%.

• Step 8: Floating charge (13.8 V)
  Maintain the battery charge level at its maximum with maintenance charging every 10 days.

Lead battery equivalent: A lithium battery has better starting performance (CCA) than a lead battery. This is why some lithium battery manufacturers indicate the battery lead equivalent (EqPb) corresponding to the capacity of a lead-acid battery with the same starting performance. For instance, a LFP battery of 10 Ah will have the same starting performance as a lead-acid battery of around 30 Ah.

If the motorcycle is equipped with a 12 V socket, the GYSFLASH 1.12 PL is able to charge the battery via this socket with the CAN-BUS system, without having to switch on the instrument panel. In this setup, connect the cigarette lighter adapter (ref. 029439) on the charger and the 12 V socket of the motorcycle and then follow the «Start-up» procedure detailed above. In certain cases, it is possible that the charge will only start 2 minutes after performing the connections.

Protections :
The GYSFLASH 1.12 PL has a set of devices to protect it against short circuits and polarity reversal. It has an anti-spark feature which prevents sparks whilst connecting the device to the battery. This charger has double insulation and is safe to use with the battery in situ as it will protect the vehicle’s onboard electronics.

The GYSFLASH 1.12 PL is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor that allows it to adapt its charging current according to the ambient temperature in order to avoid any overheating of the internal electronics.
