GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GYSFLASH 8.12 PL is ideal for recharging most lead-acid (Gel, AGM, Liquid, ...) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP / LiFePO4) batteries, commonly used for motorbikes, cars, utility vehicles and small agricultural machines..
This charger is ideally suited for:
- Charging of 12 V lead-acid batteries (6*2 V cells in series) from 15 Ah to 160 Ah, and up to 240 Ah for float charging.
- Recharging of 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (4*3V cells in series) from 1.2 Ah to 160 Ah, and up to 240 Ah for float charging.
START UP
- Connect the charger to the battery using the proper accessory (clamps, lugs, etc...).
- Plug the charger to the mains (single phase 220-240Vac 50-60Hz).
- Charger operation :
| Button Action Selection LED | ||||

| 8A - AGM | ^8A + 0 Pb | |||
| In Lithium mode: | 4 A | ● 4A + ● Lithium | ||
| 8 A | ● 8A + ● Lithium | |||
- After about five seconds without pressing the button, charging starts automatically.
- During the charge, the device indicates the charge progress. When the light flashes, the battery is ready to start the engine. Once the indicator OK stays on, the battery is completely charged.
- Charging can be stopped at any time by unplugging the mains plug or by pressing the button
- After the charge is complete, disconnect the charger from the mains, then disconnect the clamps from the battery.
CHARGE MODES
- Description of Modes and Options:

CHARGE mode Lead (14.4V / 1A - 8A) :
Mode designed for lead-acid batteries, 12V from 15Ah to 160Ah and up to 240Ah for floating charge. Automatic seven step charge cycle.

COLD/AGM Option (14.7 V) :
Modifies the charging voltage at 14.7V to charge the battery during cold weather (Less than 5°C) or for some AGM batteries or batteries with caps.

Charge mode Lithium (14.4V / 4A - 8A) :
Mode designed for 12V Lithium batteries, from 1.2Ah to 160Ah and up to 240Ah for floating charge. Automatic charging cycle in eight steps.

Some Lithium batteries incorporate a UVP protection (Under Voltage Protection) which disconnects the battery in case of deep discharge. This protection prevents the charger from detecting the battery. In order for the Gysflash 8.12 PL to be able to charge the battery, the UVP protection must be deactivated. To do this, set the charger to Lithium charging mode and then unplug it. Press the button ▶ while plugging the Gysflash back in and hold it down for 5 seconds after the charger is turned on. The charger will then deactivate the UVP protection and automatically start charging.
Charging current:
● 1A ● 4A ● 8A Selection designed to choose the most suited charging current based on the type and size of the battery (lead-acid or lithium).
Charging current 1 A 4 A 8 A
| Battery capacity | Pb 15 | 50Ah - 50 | 160Ah | |
| LFP - 1.2 | 20Ah 20 | 160Ah | ||
| (36 60Ah EqPb*) (60 | 480A ^* ) |
*Lead-acid battery equivalent : Lithium batteries have better starting performance (CCA) than lead-acid batteries. This is why some lithium battery manufacturers indicate the lead battery equivalent (EqPb) corresponding to the capacity of a lead-acid battery with the same starting performance. For instance, a 10Ah LFP battery will have approximately the same starting performance as a 30 Ah lead-acid battery.
- Lead-acid charge curve:
The Gysflash 8.12 PL uses an advanced 7-step lead-acid charging curve that ensures optimal performance of your lead-acid battery.

If the motorcycle is equipped with a 12V socket, the GYSFLASH 8.12 PL is able to charge the battery via this socket with the CAN-BUS system, without having to switch on the dashboard. In this setup, connect the cigarette lighter adapter (ref. 077331) on the charger and the 12 V socket of the motorcycle and then follow the «Start-up» procedure detailed above. In some cases, charging may not start until 2 minutes after the connections have been made.
