Features

8 Stages Charging Mode

1. Soft start:
   Tests if the battery can accept a charge, charging will commence if the battery is okay.
   *Boost Mode will charge by high voltage.

2. Pulse
   Pulsing current removes sulfates from the battery plates and restores battery efficiency and capacity.

3. Bulk:
   Charges with maximum constant current until approximately 80% of capacity.

4. Absorption:
   Charging with constant voltage and declining current to equalize and maximize up the battery capacity.

5. Test:
   Tests if the battery can hold a charge. If the battery voltage drops below 1 1.6V within 10 minutes, the battery is faulty.

6. Float:
   Keep the battery voltage at maximum level by providing a constant voltage charge.

7. Maintenance:
   Battery maintenance mode is active when the battery voltage is lower than 12.6V, the charger will begin maintenance charging automatically.

8. Cycle Recharge:
   A Continuation of the maintenance mode that monitors battery voltage and will gently pulse current and increase voltage. It will charge automatically every 15 days.

Safety Instructions

Before removing the battery from the vehicle, please check your codes for audio, security systems* etc.
Before removing the battery from the vehicle, please make sure to disconnect the earth (ground) terminal first. All accessories in the vehicle must be turned off to avoid sparks.
Warning:
It is dangerous to work near a lead-acid battery. A battery will generate explosive gases during normal operation and gases increase when charging.
Make sure working area is well ventilated.
Make sure there is no possibility to cause gases being ignited. Must be no naked flames, cigarettes, flame heaters, blowtorches etc. near the battery or working area.
The gases can be ignited by sparks, please disconnect the chargers from the mains before disconnecting the leads from the battery.
Must wear approved safety eyewear when connecting or disconnecting battery charger leads.
– Avoid touching eyes while working with batteries.
Do not smoke near the battery or engine.

Safety Notes

• This charger is designed for charging the lead-acid battery of vehicles, and does not charge the battery of home appliances.
• Place chargers as far away from the battery as the charger cables permit.
• When working with or near a lead-acid battery, make sure there is someone nearby to come to your aid if necessary.
• If battery acids contact skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and plenty of freshwaters.
• If acids enter an eye, flush the eyes immediately with plenty of cold, clean water and get medical attention.
• When working with a lead-acid battery, make sure to remove personal metal items, such as watch straps, rings, bracelets, and necklaces . etc. A short circuit across from one of the above will cause severe burns.
• Do not put the battery on top of the charger.
• Never touch the clamps when the charger is working.
• Never allow the clamps to touch each other or to contact a piece of metal that could bridge them.
• If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the battery
  first. Make sure all accessories are off to minimize the potential of a spark.

It is the operator’s responsibility to comply with the following:

• Do not disassemble the charger without qualified professional when service or
  repair is required.

• Inspect all power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and
  /or damage.

• Before use, inspect the insulation on the charger cable and check the charger and
  plug before connecting to the mains supply.

• Also regularly inspect povwer supply sockets, extension leads and connectors.

• Ensure that the mains voltage marked on the charger is the same as the electrical
  power supply to be used.

• Do not carry the charger by its power lead.

• Do not pull the power plug from the socket by the power lead.

• Extension lead reels: when a cable extension lead reel is used it should be fully
  unwound before connection. We recommend the cable reel has an RCD fitted.

• Be sure that the capacity of the cable reel is suitable for the product.

If in any doubt about electrical safety, consult a qualified electrician.

General Information

1. Why does battery need to charge?
   Batteries will be affected by self-discharge even if unused, therefore, it is necessary to use a
   charger to charge batteries. Proper charging can increase battery efficiency and extend its
   service life.

2. What is the voltage for a fully charged battery?
   Normally the voltage should be over 12.6V for a 12V battery, if it is between 12.3~12.6V
   which means it is not fully charged, please charge it.
   If the voltage does not over 12.6V after charging, the battery capacity is reduced.

3. How to remove the battery terminal corrosion?
   Please disconnect the terminals from the battery first.
   Then wear gloves to wash terminals with 100’C hot water and clean it with a steel
   brush or sandpaper. Finally, you can rub some rust preventive oil on the terminals.

4. Precaution for standard type batteries?
   Remember to check the electrolyte level as often as you can. When the level is lower, please
   refill the liquid ( pure water or distilled water).

5. Precaution for replacing a battery?
   To remove a battery, please disconnect the negative terminal first then disconnect the positive terminal.
   When installing, please connect with the positive terminal and then connect with the negative terminal.
   Do not reverse polarity.

6. Precaution for charging a battery?

   • Please make sure the battery electrolyte is within the range.
   • Make sure the working area is well ventilated.
   • If you are charging a standard type battery, please open the vent plug to charge.
   • If the battery acid is leaking out when charging, please clean it.
   • lease identify the correct polarity of your battery.
   • If the battery temperature is over 45C, please stop charging.
   •  Make sure the clamps and battery are well-connected.

7. How to set up the charging current of a battery?
   Normally the charging current will be 1/10~1/6 of a battery capacity.
   (Eg. 60Ah battery can charge by 6A-10A) .
