• Please read the manual carefully before use.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
• Do not attempt to charge no-rechargeable batteries.
• Do not use the Standard or 14,7 charging program on a Li-Ion battery or the Li-ion charging battery on a lead-acid battery.
• After use, disconnect the mains power before disconnecting from the battery.
• Only use the charger in well-vented area and on vented batteries.
• This charger has to be repaired by professionals.
• Do not do incorrect connections even though the charge output is protected against short circuiting and wrong connections.
• The charger does not draw current from the battery when the main power is not connected.
• Do not install the charger in a highly flammable environment.
• Do not charge a damaged battery.
• During charging, battery gas which is very explosive can be developed. Take care not to have sparks, open flames, cigarettes or similar in the vicinity
of the battery and make sure there are sufficient ventilation.
• The acid in the battery is corrosive and harmful. It damages clothes, metal and varnish. In case of spillage and contact with skin, wash and rinse
thoroughly with water and consult a doctor.
• Lead and other chemicals that are used in batteries are toxic. Wash skin and hands thoroughly after working with batteries.
DEFA WorkShopCharger 2.0 35A is based on modern switch-mode technology and galvanized divisions. This charger represent the latest technology within
battery charging and will give the batteries optimum life. It is well suited to battery sizes up to approx. 600Ah and can maintenance charge the battery
for an unlimited time. The charger can stand parallel charging up to 30A parallel consumption at the same time as it charges the batteries.The charging
voltage is temperature compensated with external sensor.
See A on page 2. The figure shows the charge process in a graph with Voltage (V) and Current (I) over time (t)
The charge status is shown by the LED display. See B on page 2.
The charger checks if the battery is correctly connected.
The battery's charge level (V) and total capacity (Ah) is measured to determine the correct settings for charging.
Battery Voltage
>12.65V
12.55V–12.65V
12.45V–12.55V
12.35V–12.45V
4.5V–12.35V
The charger starts charging the battery with constant current up to 14.4V (at 25°C). The charge voltage is then held constant at 14.4V and the charging
current is reduced until it is below a defined level. The charge voltage then drops to 13.6V, before the long-term charging phase starts. During charging,
battery charge is shown by the number of LEDs illuminated. The blinking segment above these LEDs indicates active charging. Once full battery charge
is reached, all 5 LED segments remain illuminated. If the measured battery voltage is below 2.0V, the charger will enter Error Mode, and the warning
triangle above the battery indication will start to flash.
Some batteries require a higher charging voltage than other batteries. If the 14.7V button is activated the maximum charge voltage will be 0.3V higher
than the standard level. Always follow the battery manufacturers recommendation regarding charging voltage.
Pushing this button will activate the charging curve for Li-Ion batteries. The top charge voltage is 14,4V and float charge voltage is 13,5V. Temperature
compensation is deactivated in this mode. In this mode the charger will output power even if a battery is not connected.
