The built-in voltage/amperage instrument lets you monitor the current charging status of your battery at any time.
Toggle between voltage and amperage to see if the battery has reached the desired voltage / charging current. When
reaching a voltage of 7.2V (6-Volt battery), 14.4V (12-Volt battery) or 28.8V (24-Volt battery) or whenever the charging
current is lower than < 500mA, your battery is fully charged. The charging current supplied to the battery and the
charging time depend on the battery status. The charging current will thus never be constant during the entire char-
ging process but will decrease gradually as the charging level increases. When connecting the charger to an empty
battery, the charging current will be high. As the charging level increases, the charging current will decrease.

• Before powering the device on, you should ascertain the required current setting.
• Connect the positive clamp (red cable) of the charger to the positive battery pole.
• Connect the negative clamp (black cable) of the charger to the negative battery pole.
• Connect the power cord to a 230V wall outlet.
• Set the desired charging voltage (6 / 12 / 24V).
• Set the charging current to the desired value and power the charger on.
An empty battery needs approx. 5 to 10 hours for recharging. The charging time depends on the battery status.
CAUTION: SL and SLS series chargers have no automatic charging control: they do not power off automatically after
the charging process has finished. It is therefore necessary to monitor the charging process in order to power the
charger off and disconnect it from the battery once the battery is fully charged. If you leave the device connected to
the battery for too long, damage to the battery will occur.
SLS chargers have a timer that will power off the device after the set time (hours). We recommend that you use this
feature.
The SL and SLS series feature a digital voltage / current toggle
aMP
instrument.

The built-in timer allows the charger to be automatically powered off after the set
time. This means that the charging process must not be terminated manually.
A battery of a capacity compatible with the charger and discharged by 50% can be
fully recharged within 8 to 10 hours. Set the desired charging time (hours) by turning
the dial knob. After the set time has elapsed, the charger will power off.
