the best "life" when recharged before being drained more than 50% . When fully discharged they withstand about 300 charging cycles. The GEL battery type is similar to AGM. The charging voltage is lower than for other lead-acid batteries. Using the wrong charger for a Gel battery will result in a reduction in power or a shorter life.

• 6 V Regular: Select this mode for conventional 6V batteries.

Charge Start button 3: Use this button to switch between the following options

• Fast Charge: charges quickly (recommended in low outdoor temperatures / winter)
  Normal Charge: normal charging process (normal speed)
• Start: briefly delivers 75 ampere to bridge a weak or drained battery to jump start an engine

Attention: This mode can only be exited by unplugging the mains plug 9.

- Jump starting

WARNING! Always make all the connections as described and in the correct order. The vehicle's electronics may otherwise be damaged. Proceed against the specifications at your own risk and responsibility.

Attention: This function is not suitable for batteries below 45 Ah. This function could damage batteries below 45 Ah.
Diesel vehicles and large-volume engines in part require amperages above 75 A for jump starting.

Note: The charger features an analysis program to protect the battery from damage (e.g. sulphation or rapid voltage drops), particularly during jump starting. The device will not switch on the jump starter with severely drained or heavily stressed batteries to protect the battery. During this process the battery is already being charged with lower currents (Charging lights up). The display continues to read "0". In this event the jump start function cannot be used. This will protect the battery from damage. You should then first charge the battery. You may also use the

"Fast Charge" or "Normal Charge" function for this purpose.

Connect the car charger's mains cable to power.
Connect the red connector cl to the positive battery terminal. (The positive terminal is marked with a "+" symbol and a red mark.)
Connect the black connector clamp to the negative battery terminal. (The negative terminal is marked with a " - " symbol and a black mark.)
If the connector clamps are connected correctly, the car charger will automatically select the correct battery type. You may review it in the "Battery Type" option field and if necessary change it by pressing the battery type button 2.
Now select the "Start" function using the Charge Start button 3. The cart charger will now analyse the battery's charge level. The display will now read "0".
Start the vehicle's ignition. The display will now show a 5 second countdown (of which 2 second priming / analysis function and 3 second jump start function at 75 A) when needing the car charger for jump starting (previously analysed by the car charger). During this countdown the car charger will briefly deliver 75 A to bridge the battery to start the car. This is followed by a 180 second pause to protect the battery. The cycle will now restart (2 second priming / analysis function and 3 second jump starting at 75 A/ 180 second pause).
To disconnect the device, first remove the terminal clamps (6 / 7) and unplug the power cord 9.

Note: If the battery is completely drained, the 75 A will not be sufficient to start all engines (e.g. diesel vehicles).
In this case, please select the "Fast Charge" option using the Charge Start button 3 and charge the battery 60% (preheating of diesel engines draws power from the battery. This requires 60% after preheating).

You can monitor the charging process in the display by selecting the "Battery %" option using the digital display button 1.

Once 60% has been reached, jump start again.
