GENERAL DESCRIPTION GYSash 20.12/24 PL is designed to charge lead-acid batteries (Gel, AGM, Liquid, ...) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP / LifeP04). This charger is suitable to recharge : - Lead-acid batteries 12V (6 elements in series) from 15 Ah to 375 Ah. - Lead-acid batteries 24 V (12 elements in series) from 15Ah to 240Ah. - Lead-acid batteries LFP 12V (4 elements in series) from 7Ah to 300Ah - Batteries LFP 24V (8 elements in series) from 7Ah to 240Ah The Gysash 20.12/24 PL is equipped with a function that : - when charging a lead-acid battery, adjusts the output voltage automatically according to the ambi-ent air temperature. This adjustment allows for a very accurate lead-acid battery charge adapted to the tempe- rature. - When charging a lithium battery, the charge is prevented if the ambient temperature is below 3°C. In both cases, the adjustment can take between 1 and 10 minutes before the charge starts or stops. CALIBRATION CABLE Procedure for the calibration of the charging leads in order for the charger to compensate any voltage drop due to the length or condition of the cables. It is strongly recommended to perform this procedure each time the cables are modied or changed.

1. Before undertaking the procedure, make sure that the charger is disconnected from the mains socket.

2. Short-circuit the ends of the charging leads.

4. Plug in the mains plug while holding down the two buttons until the indicator light

or lights up. Résults : - Indicator is on: the calibration was successful. - Indicator is on: the calibration failed, disconnect the mains plug and restart the procedure.

1. Connect the charger to the battery.

2. Plug the charger to the mains (single phase 220-240Vac 50-60Hz).

3. Select the mode by pressing button

), and the charging current by pressing button . After roughly ve seconds, the charge starts automatically. By default, the charger starts on the last mode used.

4. During the charge, the device indicates the charge progress. When indicator

blinks, the battery is ready to start the vehicle. Once indicator stays on, the battery is fully charged.

5. The charge can be interrupted at any time by unplugging the mains plug or pressing the

6. After the charge, disconnect the charger from the mains, then disconnect the clamps from the battery.

• Description of charging modes and currents : Mode CHARGE lead-acid (14.6 V/20 A max) : Mode designed for the recharge of 12V lead-acid batteries from 15 Ah to 300 Ah. Automatic seven step charge cycle. Mode CHARGE lead-acid (29.2 V/15 A max) : Mode designed for the recharge of 12V lead-acid batteries from 15 Ah to 240 Ah. Automatic seven step charge cycle. Mode CHARGE Lithium (14.4 V/20 A max) : Mode designed for the recharge of 12 V lithium batteries from 7 Ah to 300 Ah. 8 step automatic mainte- nance charge cycle. Mode CHARGE Lithium (28.8 V/15 A max) : Mode designed for the recharge of 24 V lithium batteries from 7 Ah to 240 Ah. 8 step automatic mainte- nance charge cycle. Some Lithium batteries incorporate a UVP protection (Under Voltage Protection) which disconnect the battery in case of deep discharge. This protection prevents the charger from detecting the battery. In order for the Gysash 20.12/24 PL to be able to charge the battery, it is necessary to deactivate the UVP protection. To do this, select the Lithium charging mode and press the button for 10 seconds. The charger will then deactivate the UVP protection and automatically start charging.11 GYSFLASH 20.12/24 PL Translation of the original instructions Charging current 7 / 15 / 20 A :Selection designed to choose the most suited charging current based on the type and size of the battery (lead-acid or lithium).Charging current 7 A 15 A 20 ABattery capacity 12 V 15 60 Ah 60 90 Ah 90 300 Ah24 V 15 60 Ah 60 240 Ah - LFP 12 V

15 Ah 15 240 Ah (21 45 Ah EqPb*) (45 690 Ah EqPb*) *Lead battery corresponding : A lithium battery has a better starting performance (CCA) than a lead-acid battery. This is why some lithium battery manufacturers indicate the battery lead equivalent (EqPb) corresponding to the capacity of a lead-acid battery with the same starting performance. For instance, a LFP battery of 10 Ah will have the same starting performance as a lead-acid battery of around 30 Ah.

• Lead-acid charging curve : The GYSash 20.12/24 PL features a 7 step charging curve designed to ensure optimal charging of lead-acid batteries.

• Lithium charging curve : The GYSash 20.12/24 PL features a 8 step charging curve designed to ensure optimal charging of LFP batteries.

TROUBLESHOOTING, CAUSES, SOLUTIONS

Troubleshooting Causes Solutions Indicator ashes.• Polarity reversal• Battery voltage is too high• Clamps in short-circuit• Check that the clamps are connected correctly• Check that the selected voltage matches the battery voltage. The indicator is on.• Charge failure, battery cannot be recovered• Ambient temperature is too low to charge a LFP battery • Change the battery and press restart a charge• Charge the battery at milder temperature or press the button. Indicator stays on even after pressing buttonThermal protectionAmbient temperature is too high (>50°C), cool the room and let the charger cool down. Indicator ashes.Charger in sleep modePress button or connect a battery to the charger to exit sleep mode. Indicator stays on.Charge interrupted by pressing Press again to restart the charge.
