4.5 Reconditioning of battery (pulse charging) (7.5 V to 10.5 V)
The charger automatically enters this setting for weak batteries and which do not respond
to normal charging. Connect thecharging clamps to thebattery (red to + and black to -),
then press [ MODE ] to select thedesired function and start charging. The charger
automatically detects thebattery’s voltage. Ifthevoltage is 7.5 V (±0.5V) to 10.5 V (±0.5)
pulse charging commences until thevoltage reaches 10.5 V (±0.5V) and then thecharger
switches over to thecharge setting you selected when charging began.
NOTE: The charger cannot charge batteries that have a lower pole voltage than
7.5 V (±0.5V).
• When everything is OK
will light up during theentire charging cycle until
thevoltage reaches 14.4 V (±0.25 V).
• When charging is complete will switch off and will belit. Charging will
switch to maintenance charging.
• Weak batteries can often be recharged using this method.
4.6 Protection features
The charger has aprotection features which switch thecharger off automatically in theevent of:
• Reversed polarity
• Low voltage in batteries (under 7.5 V ±0.5 V)
• Short circuiting
• Charging clamps are not connected
If thebattery is connected with reversed polarity, the
lamp lights up.
4.7 Temperature protection
The charger has aprotection feature which reduces charging automatically if
thetemperature in thecharger gets too high. Thecharging current returns to normal
when thetemperature is reduced.
4.8 Switch between charging settings 1 (<14 Ah) – 2 (>14 Ah) – 3 (COLD)
Press [ MODE ] several times to select thedesired charge setting. Inthis order:
STANDBY – Charge setting 1 - Charge setting 2 - Charge setting 3 – STANDBY etc.
Attention! Ifthebattery is fully charged, continue maintenance charging even if theuser
selects another charge setting. Theprotection feature prevents over-charging of thebattery.
5. Using the quick connectors
Perfect accessory for hard to access batteries
on e.g. motorbikes, lawnmowers, etc.
1. Screw on the positive (RED) battery
clamp to the battery’s positive terminal
(+) and the negative (BLACK) to
thebattery’s negative terminal (-).
2. Position the quick-connector in an
easy accessible area to make it easy
to connect a charger when needed.
