BLA MARINE 111160 High Performance DC Lithium Battery Charger

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save these Instructions. Danger: please read the user manual and safety instructions carefully before using the appliance.

• Ensure good VENTILATION around the unit
• The series is designed to charge 12V, 24V, and 36V lithium batteries. Do not attempt to use batteries with voltages not matching the charger’s specified voltage.
• Ensure outboard charging output exceeds 36amps required to run BLA DC DC Lithium Battery Charger. If the charging output of the outboard does not meet this requirement the addition of a DVSR will protect the state of charge on the start battery by disconnecting the DC DC if the start battery voltage reaches a critical level.
• Disconnect the BATTERY supply and take care when installing power cables
• Do not probe the charger with conductive materials.
• Do not use this product in an enclosure containing lead-acid batteries. These batteries vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.
• Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases.
• Do not try to use the charger for any other purpose than what is presented in this manual.
• Unplug the charger before cleaning and when there is no battery pack in the charger.
• Do not try to connect two chargers.
• Do not use the charger in circumstances where the input/output Polarity does not match the load polarity.
• The cover may under no circumstances be opened. If the cover is damaged, then the charger may no longer be used.
• Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Do not connect output DC clamps to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
• Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.

WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire, electrical shock, or electrocution.

• Always remove the battery pack before cleaning, inspecting, or performing any maintenance on the tool.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used by the instructions, may cause harmful interference to fishfinder, radio or television signals. The interference can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CHARGING A BATTERY

Follow these steps to charge a battery: refer to image below

1. Connect the DC output cables (3) to the AUXILIARY battery terminal receptacle.

2. Black to negative, white to positive

3. Connect the DC input cable (1) to the STARTING battery terminal receptacle.

4. Black to negative, red to positive

5. Connect yellow ignition cable (4) to 12V/24V ignition source

6. The POWER LED light (2) should be ON.

7. LED Light Indicator – Red: the battery is charging Green: fully charged.

   • The ignition wire is used to trigger charging by switching the DC-DC charger on. Apply either 12Vdc or 24Vdc to activate charging. The device will not work properly unless the ignition wire is connected.

   • The ignition wire has been included to provide convenient and sustainable DC charging; the purpose of the ignition cable is to prevent you from discharging your primary engine battery bank to critically low levels, which could potentially be dangerous.

   • The ignition trigger wire can be connected to your primary engine 12Vdc or 24Vdc ignition source so that only when your primary engine is running, the DC-DC charger is powered and charging your
     auxiliary battery.

   • Alternatively, the ignition wire can be wired to an on/off switch installed in a convenient location for easy access. The on/off switch should be supplied with a 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc supply from your primary engine battery bank or power source.

   • Alternatively, the ignition wire can be routed via a DVSR which will only activate the DC DC Charger when the battery source has a suitable voltage for charging.

2-STAGE AUTOMATIC CHARGING

This is a fully automatic battery charger with 2 charge stages. Automatic charging protects your battery from being overcharged so you can leave the charger connected to the battery indefinitely. 2-stage charging is a sophisticated charging technique that gives your battery longer life and better performance compared to using traditional chargers.

BULK (CC MODE)
The Bulk stage reduces charging time by charging the battery at the maximum rate (constant current) to a set voltage, at which point the battery is approximately 80% charged.

ABSORPTION (CV MODE)
The absorption stage charges the battery to 100% by adjusting the charge rate, allowing the battery to absorb more power.
