FEATURES
MICROPROCESSOR TECHNOLOGY
The latest technology in battery chargers converts
240VAC to 12VDC charging power using electronic
components, unlike traditional battery chargers
that rely on large heavy transformers. This allows
the charger to be lightweight and compact without
sacrificing performance. To increase safety,
polarity protection prevents the output leads from
sparking due to accidental reverse connection or
short circuit.
DESULPHATION FUNCTION
This feature provides a stepped or pulsed voltage
to help remove the sulphation of plates which
can occur when batteries are left discharged for
prolonged periods.
RECONDITIONING
When the battery has been left unattended for a
prolonged period, the sulphation of the plates may
be too severe for Stage 2 - Desulphation cycle to
adequately clean the plates. In these instances,
the ANALYSIS stage will identify that sulphation
of the plates still exists and an additional
RECONDITION stage will initiate and the battery
charger will conduct a further, more severe
attempt to recover the battery.
Note - If the battery is unable to be recovered
(i.e. the sulphation of the plates is too severe), the
battery charger will display the error message
(Er2).
MAXIMISING BATTERY PERFORMANCE
Your battery will run longer when charged using a
9-stage charger, ensuring you get the most from your
battery.
MAXIMISE BATTERY LIFE
Batteries used regularly will last longer when
charged using a 9-stage charger, saving you
money on expensive batteries.
AUTOMATIC MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL
The charger can be left connected to the battery
without risk of overcharging. Once the battery is
full, the battery charger will automatically monitor
the battery and top up the battery when required
to ensure it is always ready for use.
LCD DISPLAY / BACKLIGHT
A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provides a clear,
easy-to-read display and a backlight provides
visibility in poor light or when dark.
VOLTAGE DISPLAY
The LCD display provides the actual battery
voltage prior to selecting a “CHARGE OPTION”,
and displays the voltage being applied during
charging.
When the charge cycles are complete and the
battery is fully charged, the LCD display will show
FUL. If the clamps are connected incorrectly or
if the incorrect voltage “option” is selected for
the battery, the display will show ER1, and if the
battery is damaged or unable to be charged, the
display will show ER2.
Note - Batteries with a battery voltage below
10.5V (5.2V for 6V) may have been permanently
damaged - it is recommended that batteries not be
discharged to below 10.5V (5.2V for 6V).
AUTOMATIC MULTI-CYCLE CONDITIONING
If the battery will not hold charge at the completion
of the 1st cycle, the 9-stages of the cycle are
automatically repeated for up to a further two (2)
times to achieve the battery’s maximum charge
condition. This minimises the need to monitor and
repeat the charge cycles if the condition of the
battery is not optimum after the first (1st) charge
cycle.
