b. Choose the battery type ( - 12) : Liquide, Gel, AGM, Start/Stop . In the event that the battery type is unknown
(Liquid, Gel, AGM, Start/Stop), select the UNIVERSAL mode.
3. Press the START/STOP button (
- 9) to start the charge.
Three indicators show that the battery is charging :
- The charge LED ( - 7).
- The display (2) : It alternates between the battery voltage and the percentage of charge (an evolution of both
values should be noticed).
- The voltage and percentage LEDs (4 and 5). They remain on and alternate at the same time as the display.
The charge progression is shown in percentage (%).

4. Blocked and charge stop.
The battery charge does not start when :
- The battery voltage is inferior to 1V.
- The battery voltage does not match the voltage that is selected on the charger.
The battery charge stops when :
- The START/STOP button is pressed again.
- The continuous charge duration reaches 16h.
Once the battery is charged, the STARTIUM performs a oating/maintenance charge. The charge does
not stop to compensate for self-discharge and maintain the battery at a 100%.
If it is a sealed battery and if the liquid boils, it means the battery is damaged. Is this occurs, it is
recommanded to stop the charge to prevent any risk of explosion.
- The charger will stop if the « automatic restart » has not been activated.
5. Charger mode functions
a. Automatic restart feature:
In the event of a power cut :
- During a normal charge, the STARTIUM switches off. When it switches back on, it does not resume the charge. It
must be manually resumed.
- During a charge with the «Automatic restart» feature on, the STARTIUM switches off. When it switches back on, it
automatically resumes the charge.
To use the «Automatic restart» mode :
- Perform steps 1 and 2 of normal loading.
- When starting the charge (step 3), press the START/STOP button ( - 9) for a long time (> 5 sec.). ( - 9).
