Frequently Asked Questions - Batium 7.24 GYS

How to connect the Batium 7.24 charger?

First connect the red clamp to the battery + terminal, then the black clamp to the - terminal. Then plug the charger into a 230 V mains socket. The order is important for safety.

What to do if the battery is deeply discharged (voltage below 2 V)?

Use the forced charge function: select the voltage and current, then press the battery voltage button (③) for 5 seconds until the charge indicator (①) lights up. If no indicator lights up, the battery is beyond recovery.

How to clean the charger?

Unplug the device before any cleaning. Use a dry cloth. Never use solvents or harsh products.

Which battery types can I charge?

The Batium 7.24 is designed for lead-acid starting batteries, liquid or gel electrolyte, with a capacity of 35 to 225 Ah.

What do the indicators mean during charging?

Indicator ① (step 1) steady on: voltage rise. Indicator ① flashing: voltage regulation (2 h). Green indicator ②: end of charge, maintenance charge (floating).

What to do in case of reverse polarity?

The device is protected against reverse polarity. If this occurs, swap the clamps: red on +, black on -. If the problem persists, check the clamp contacts.

How to replace the internal fuse?

Unplug the device from the mains and remove the battery clamps. Replace the fuse with a 15 A rating. This operation must be performed by a qualified person.

What is the warranty of the charger?

The warranty covers manufacturing defects for 2 years from the date of purchase (parts and labor). It does not cover damages due to misuse or normal wear.

Can I charge a frozen or damaged battery?

No, never charge a frozen or damaged battery. This poses a risk of explosion or acid spray.

How to know if the battery is beyond recovery?

If after activating forced charge no indicator lights up, the voltage is below 0.5 V (±0.3). In this case, the battery is beyond recovery and must be replaced.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

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

Reference 7 / 12	7 / 24	15 / 12	15 / 24
Voltage	6 V	12 V	6 V	12 V	24 V	6 V	12 V	6 V	12 V	24 V
Battery capacity	From 15 Ah to 130 Ah					From 35 Ah to 225 Ah

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.

1. Connect the clamps : Red clamp to the battery's (+) and black clamp to the battery's (-).

1. Connect the charger to the mains on a 230 V socket. An indicator (interface diagram p.44) and switches on that matches the latest saved data.

1. Select the battery voltage (6, 12, 24 V) according to the recommendations features on the battery or according to the battery coupling (series or parallel cf p.44).

Risk of explosion or acid projections if the wrong voltage is selected (24V for a 12V battery).

To confirm the selection, do not press any button for 5 seconds.

1. Select the battery capacity. The Batium automatically determines the charging current.
2. The charge starts automatically. The display indicates the battery's state of charge. (indicators ① and ②)

In the event of a power cut, the BATIUM saves the state of charge (except in « SOS Recovery » mode), and resumes the charge using the latest settings.

1. When the battery is charged, disconnect the power supply

1. Disconnect the clamps or the battery connectors.

FORCED CHARGE

If the battery is deeply discharged (very low voltage < 2V ), the charge doesn't start automatically. The charge indicator ① does not switch on. The battery voltage indicators A, and capacity indicator B 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 ① switches on once the button is released. If no indicator switches on, your battery cannot be recovered ( < 0.5V(± 0.3) ).

When connecting the battery, the SOS Recovery indicator ⑥ 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 :
1. Disconnect the battery from the vehicle. (OVERVOLTAGE DANGER)
2. Connect the Batium to the battery.
3. Connect the Batium to the mains.
4. Choose the charging voltage.
5. Activate « Sos Recovery » by pressing the button during 5 seconds, until the indicator switches on (the indicators are switched off).
6. The indicator ① switches on and blinks when the "Sos Recovery" stops and the normal charge resumes.
7. The green indicator ② 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).

TROUBLESHOOTING

ANOMALIES CAUSES SOLUTIONS
1	The charge indicator 1 is swit-ched off. The battery voltage indicators blink alternatively after 1 minute of charging.	The selected voltage does not match the battery voltage.	- Unplug the device from the mains while holding the clamps on the battery. - Reconnect the BATIUM to the mains supply. - Select the correct voltage within 5 seconds of reconnecting the product.
		The battery cannot be recovered. Change	Change the battery.
2	The battery capacity indicators flash alternatively.	The battery is in short circuit or damaged	Change the battery.
		A power consumer has been left on accidentally (e.g. lights).	Switch off the power consumer and continue/restart the charge
		The charger is used as a power supply to compensate for the use of power consumers that are drag-ging the battery's energy.	Charger behaves normally but incorrect use. The indicator that signals the end of the charge cannot switch on.
		The battery capacity (Ah) is higher than the charger's	The charging time will be abnormally long. If possible, use a more powerful charger
			Choose the capacity indicated on your battery.
		The battery voltage does not rise, the battery is damaged.	Change the battery.
3	The battery is connected. The charge indicator 1 does not switch on. The battery voltage indicators and battery capacity indicators are switched on.	Polarities + and - are reversed	Put the red clamp at the + the black clamp at the -
		Bad clamp connections.	Clean the terminals and reconnect the clamps.
		The battery is deeply discharged.	Use the « forced charge » mode (see the procedure on the previous page)
		The fuse is melted.	Disconnect the machine from the mains. Remove the clamps from the battery. Replace the fuse with regard to its size (15 A for a Batium 7-12 7-24 or 30 A for a Batium 15-12 and 15-24).
4	The indicator light «SOS Recovery» (Batium 15.12 et 15.24) flashes after one minute of charge.	The battery has suffered a deep discharge over a long period, with a start in sulfation.. The charge continues but it is recommended to switch to « SOS recovery ».	Disconnect the machine from the mains, then the clamps. Activate the « SOS Recovery » mode, see the previous page.
5	SOS RECOVERY (Batium 15.12 / 15.24) : after 24 hours, the charge and end of charge indicators are swit-ched off.	Battery cannot be recovered Battery	to be replaced
6	Forced charge : After pressing the battery voltage button during 5 seconds to start the forced charge, the indicator does not switch on.	Battery voltage < 0.5 V (± 0.3) Battery	to be replaced
7	When connecting to the mains, no indicator switches on		Disconnect the Batium from the mains during 10 sec., then reconnect it.
