Using the IU0U automatic charger
10.3 Conditioning the battery
To prevent any sulphation of the battery during prolonged non-use (during
the winter), it must be charged beforehand.
➤ If applicable, disconnect the starter battery from the charger.
➤ Connect the battery to be charged.
➤ Set the DIP switch (fig. 8 5, page 7):
– Switch 4: ON
– Wet batteries: Switch 3: ON
Gel/fleece batteries: Switch 3: OFF
➤ Set the main switch on the IU0U-automatic charger (fig. 2 1, page 3) to
"I".
✓ The battery will be charged for 8 hours (switch 3: ON) or for 16 hours
(switch 3: OFF) at the charging voltage which has been set.
When this time has passed, the IU0U-automatic charger automatically
switches to the retentionphase.
NOTE
I
A slight overcharging could occur, in wet batteries indicated by es-
caping gases and in gel/fleece batteries by slight warmth.
➤ After conditioning, turn switch 4 on the DIP switch (fig. 8 5, page 7)
to "OFF".
You will thereby prevent any repetition of the conditioning caused by
switching the charger off and on again, which can damage the battery.
