Remove the negative terminal clamp (black) of the charger from the negative terminal on the battery or from the chassis.
Remove the positive terminal clamp (red3 of the charger from the positive terminal on the battery.

Select charging mode

You can choose between different charging modes for charging various batteries at different ambient temperatures. Unlike standard battery chargers, this appliance has a special function for reusing an empty rechargeable battery. You can recharge a completely discharged battery. A protection function against incorrect connection and short circuiting ensures safe charging. Due to the installed electronics, the charger does not begin operation directly after connecting the battery, but only starts after a charging mode has been selected. This prevents sparking, which often occurs when connecting. In addition, the battery charger is controlled by an internal MCU (microcomputer unit).

Reset/deleting settings

After connection to the power supply, the appliance automatically returns to its initial state and remains in Standby mode

Switching between modes 1, 2, 3 and 4

Press the MODE selection button corresponding amount of times.

The appliance switches through the modes in the following order: Standby Mode 1 (Mode 2), Mode 3 (Mode 4) and then starts the next cycle.

NOTE

If you press the MODE selection button, the charging mode automatically switches to the next mode and begins operation in that mode. If a 12 V battery is connected, Mode 1 (6V) is not selectable. If a 6 V battery is connected, Mode 2 (3) 3 (4) and 4 (*) are not selectable. If a battery is not disconnected from the charging station after a full charge, the appliance remains in trickle-charge mode, even if the user switches over to another mode. This protects the fully charged battery from being damaged.

Mode 1 "6 V" (7.3 V/0.8 A)

This mode is suitable for charging 6 V lead-acid batteries with a capacity below 14 Ah.

Press the MODE selection button, to activate Mode 1 (6). After doing so, the corresponding LED display 6Vi1ts up. If you do not activate another process afterwards, the electronic system will automatically activate together with the LED display 3a7 starts the charging process. If the procedure runs without any problems, the LED display 3a7 gains on during the entire charging process, until the battery is fully charged to 7.3V / ± 0.25V . When the battery is fully charged, the LED display full lights up and the LED display 3 goes out. The appliance now switches automatically to trickle charging mode.

Mode 2 "12 V" (14.4 V/0.8 A)

This mode is suitable for charging 12V lead-acid batteries with a capacity below 14 Ah.

Press the MODE selection button, to activate Mode 2 (After doing so, the corresponding LED display lights up. If you do not activate another process afterwards, the electronic system will automatically activate together with the LED display starts the charging process. If the procedure runs without any problems, the LED display gains on during the entire charging process until the battery is fully charged. When the battery is fully charged, the LED display pulls up and the LED display out.

The appliance now switches automatically to trickle charging mode.

Mode 3 "12 V" (14.4 V/3.8 A)

This mode is mainly used for charging 12V lead-acid batteries with a large capacity of more than 14 Ah under normal conditions.

Press the MODE selection button, to activate Mode 3. If you do not activate another process afterwards, the electronic system and the LED display will activate and start the charging process. If the procedure runs without any problems, the LED display remains on during the entire charging process until the battery is fully charged. When the battery is fully charged, the LED display lights up and the LED display is out. The appliance now switches automatically to trickle charging mode.

Mode 4 "12 V" (14.7 V/3.8 A)

This mode is used for charging 12V lead-acid batteries with a capacity of more than 14 Ah in cold conditions or for some AGM batteries with a capacity of more than 14 Ah.

Press the MODE selection button, to activate Mode 4. If you do not activate another process afterwards, the electronic system and the LED display will activate and start the charging process. In this mode, the charging current is identical to that of "Mode 3". If the procedure runs without any problems, the LED display aains on during the entire charging process until the battery is fully charged. When the battery is fully charged, the LED display full its up and the LED display ends out. The appliance now switches automatically to trickle charging mode.

Automatic battery recognition

As soon as the charger is connected to the mains power supply, the LED display on the device lights up.

The charger recognises the battery on the basis of the following criteria:

If the voltage of the battery is less than 3.8V or greater than 1.5V , the battery is not suitable for charging or defective. In this case, the LED Displays 6V 1, 2, 3 and flash. The charger remains in "Standby mode" and cannot be switched to another charging mode by means of the MODE selection button

Pulse charging mode

The mode is suitable for the charging/regeneration of empty, used and overcharged 12 V lead-acid batteries.

When the charger is connected to a battery and the charging process starts it automatically recognises the battery voltage. It will switch to pulse charging mode if the voltage is in the range of 7.5V± 0.5 to 10.5V± 0.5V

This pulse charging process is continued until the battery voltage has increased to 10.5V± 0.5V

As soon as this state is reached, the charger switches over to the previously selected normal charging mode.

Now the battery can be charged quickly and safely. Most empty, used or overcharged batteries can be regenerated and reused using this procedure.

NOTE

During the pulse charging process, the LED display flashes.

Trickle charging

The charge is equipped with an automatic trickle charging function. Depending on the voltage of the battery, the charger reacts by supplying different charging current. The battery can remain connected to the charger for a long period of time.

Protective function of the appliance

In the case of an incident such as short circuiting, a critical voltage drop during the charging process, an open circuit or reversed connection of the output terminals, the charger deactivates the electronic system and immediately switches back to its basic state to avoid damage.

If you do not activate any settings, the system will remain in Standby mode. If the terminals are incorrectly connected (reverse polarity), the LED display "ERROR" 5 also lights up.

If the appliance becomes too hot during charging, the power output is automatically reduced. This also protects the appliance from damage.
