WARNING
Risk of injury from damaged, frozen or deformed batteries
Damaged, frozen or deformed batteries can cause injuries.
- Before using the battery, make sure that the battery is undamaged and the electrolyte is not frozen.
WARNING
Burns from escaping acid
Acid can leak out when handling batteries.
- Wear acid-proof clothing when handling batteries.
WARNING
Risk of fire from overheated battery
Flammable gases can escape if the battery overheats.
- Always charge batteries in well-ventilated rooms and away from ignition sources.
Notice
Device defects from incorrect installation
Incorrect installation can result in device defects.
- Install the device in a dry and cool location.
Intended Use
The device is a system for trickle charging and recharging batteries in tech-
nical equipment (e.g. starter batteries for portable pumps or generators).
At the output, the system delivers a DC voltage of 12 V and thereby provides
consumers with power permanently or for a short time. Charging takes place via
a 24 V DC voltage.
Foreseeable Misuse
The device is not designed for charging lithium batteries.

About this Product
The DC-DC TS battery charger is especially suitable for trickle charging and
re-charging batteries in technical equipment (e.g. starter batteries for
portable pumps or generators). They are designed for charging lead batteries
(wet, gel and AGM) and have overvoltage and overheating protection. When doing
so, the device is fed from the vehicle battery.
For faster charging, the battery chargers can briefly deliver a higher
current.
The integrated under voltage protection protects the vehicle battery by
automatically switching off the charger when the voltage falls below a
threshold. When the cut-in voltage is reached, the charger switches on again.

Troubleshooting
Fault
Operating display (3) does not illuminate.
Possible solution
Check:
- The fuse
- The voltage at the device
- The voltage in the vehicle power circuit
Fault
Battery is not charging. Operating display (3) lit green.
Possible solution
Check:
- The voltage of the battery to be charged.
- The contacts of the plug connection.
Fault
