Frequently Asked Questions - BXAE00022 BLACK & DECKER

What types of batteries can I charge with the BXAE00022?

This charger is designed for lead-acid batteries of 6V or 12V, including wet, GEL, AGM (Start&Stop and Spiral) batteries.

How do I select the correct charging mode?

Press the selection button to choose the voltage (6V/12V), current (1A/4A) and battery type (wet/GEL or AGM). The process starts automatically.

What does the flashing orange light mean?

An orange flashing light indicates a very low battery voltage. The charger attempts to recover the battery automatically.

How do I know if the battery is fully charged?

The Full LED lights up solid green when the battery reaches 100% charge. The charger then switches to maintenance mode.

Instructions for use

1. CAUTION

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDELINES CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This manual will explain how to use the unit safely and effectively. Please read and follow these instructions and precautions carefully.

1.1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.

WARNING: Only use the charger to recharge 6V or 12V rechargeable lead-acid batteries. Do not use it for any other purpose. Do not use with non-rechargeable batteries. This charger is designed for use only with a supply voltage of 220V-240V, 50/60Hz circuit.

The charger is suitable for indoor use only, in a well-ventilated area and on a flat surface.

Two triangular warning symbols: lightning bolt symbol and flame symbol, commonly used in safety or hazard prevention contexts.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.

1. Keep out of reach of children.
2. This charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the charger by a person responsible for their safety.
3. The charger must be kept in a dry area away from liquids. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
4. Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.
5. Connect and disconnect charging connectors (clamps, eyelets, cigarette lighter plug...) only after removing AC cord from the mains.
6. Never pull on the AC cord to remove the AC plug from the mains. This may damage the cord or the plug.
7. Unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
8. Do not operate the charger with a damaged mains cable or output lead; have the damaged part replaced immediately by a qualified service person.
9. Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
10. Never put the charger on top of the battery while charging it.
11. Do not attempt to charge a damaged battery

1.2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.

1. Explosive gases can be emitted during the charging duration.
2. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.
3. Never charge a frozen battery.
4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
5. Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
6. To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.
7. Wear protective clothes, gloves and goggles to use the charger. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.
8. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
9. If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
10. Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and the charger.
11. Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's manual and make sure that the output voltage of the charger is correct.

2.2. Battery types

This electronic battery charger is designed to charge all types of lead batteries, conventional batteries and batteries of the latest generation. This battery charger is ideal for both everyday use, as a key working tool, and extensive charging cycles. All charging parameters are set using the charge function key on the control panel.

2.3. Charge cycles

The charge cycles of the battery charger have been specially developed to optimize the charge of all types of batteries currently available in the market. The numerous constructional technologies of currently available batteries require different charging curves to ensure correct and complete charging. This battery charger extends the lives of your batteries because it provides each with the proper charge cycle.

2.4. Interruption of the charge cycle

In case of blackouts in the 230V mains, the battery charger saves the work cycle it was performing in order to restore it automatically as soon as the power supply of the 230V mains is restored. This function is crucially important if the battery charger is used to charge batteries without the operator supervising the cycle; for example, during very long work cycles (maintenance charges) or when charging overnight (charges for vehicles that need to be charged daily). The set parameters are stored for 12 hours; after 12 hours the battery charger will resume charging with the default parameters.

2.5. Safety devices

The battery charger is equipped with safety devices to ensure the utmost safety during use and operation.

■ Full protection against sparks
■ Protection against short-circuits
■ Voltage compensation
■ Protection against overheating
■ Protection against polarity reversal
■ High protection rating against external agents, IP65

2.6. Battery tests and error indications

The battery charger is designed to determine the battery's condition before and while charging, and inform about any connection faults between the battery charger and the battery to charge.
