Technical Specifications - Toolland AC15 Mode D'emploi

The charger's output voltage is higher than the battery's nominal voltage (battery 12.8 V, charger AC15 – not
connected to a battery – 15.8 V). With a traditional charger like the AC15 the battery's output voltage will not
be controlled by computer. The current leaving the charger at the end of the charging process may overcharge
the battery and reduce its life.
Conclusion:
The current meter does indicate the (over)charge voltage. Regularly check the charging process. The battery is
fully charged when the charging current has not changed for one hour. Disconnect the battery from the charger
to avoid overcharge.
The automation of the charging process will require an automatic charger (specifically for this battery or series
of batteries).
6. Fuses
The AC15 has 3 safety fuses installed.
Thermal fuse: this fuse cuts of the output power when the temperature of the charger is too high. Power

automatically restores when the temperature drops below an acceptable level.
Input fuse [4]: protects the charger from power anomalies on the mains input power. To replace,

disconnect the charger from the mains and disconnect the connected battery. Unscrew the holder [4]
(counter clockwise) and replace the broken fuse by a fuse with the same specifications (F2A/250V). Tightly
screw the holder back in place.
Output fuse [2]: protects the connected battery from over-current. To replace, disconnect the charger from

the mains and disconnect the connected battery. Simply unplug the fuse from the socket and install a new
one. Only use a fuse with the same specifications (15 A).
7. Maintenance
Always remove the plug from the mains socket and disconnect batteries when servicing or cleaning the

charger.
Never use water or any other liquids to clean the charger.

Keep the cables clean, but avoid using cleaners based on benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride, ammonia... as

they affect or even dissolve plastic parts.
Check liquid level of batteries once per month and fill up when necessary.

Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
