GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Batium range is designed to charge all common batteries including lead- acid , electrolyte or gel batteries.

General Description

CONNECTIONS AND GENERAL OPERATIONS

Ensure that the correct sequences are followed.
Precaution: Check the electrolyte level for open batteries. Fill it up if necessary, before starting the charge.

Connections and General Operations

FORCED CHARGE

If the battery is deeply discharged (very low voltage <2 V), the charge doesnt not start automatically. The charge indicator does not switch on. The battery voltage indicators , and capacity indicator are switched on. In this situation, select the voltage and the charging current, then press the battery voltage button during 5 seconds to start a “forced charge”. The indicator switches on once the buttton is released. If no indicator switches on, your battery cannot be recovered (<0.5 V (± 0.3)).

« SOS RECOVERY » (BATIUM 15/12 AND 15/24)

When connecting the battery, the SOS Recovery indicator flashes to signal that the battery suffered a deep discharge over a long period, with a start in sulfation.

The « SOS Recovery » mode uses a specific curve to repair the battery over a 24 to 48 hours cycle.

To activate this feature, follow these steps :

Disconnect the battery from the vehicle. (OVERVOLTAGE DANGER)
Connect the Batium to the battery.
Connect the Batium to the mains.
Choose the charging voltage.
Activate « Sos Recovery » by pressing the button during 5 seconds, until the indicator switches on (the indicators are switched off).
The indicator switches on and blinks when the “Sos Recovery” stops and the normal charge resumes.
The green indicator indicated the charge is over.

PROTECTIONS

The Batiums are protected against short-circuits, polarity reversals and vehicle start (they maintain a constant charge even when the vehicle is started). It has an anti-spark feature which prevents sparks whilst connecting the Gysflash to the battery. The Batium will not deliver current if there is no battery detected (no voltage in the clamps).
