b. Determine the size of the battery in Amp-Hour or Reserve Capacity. If the ratings are not
printed on the battery, contact your local battery dealer for this information. These are the
only ratings that can be used to determine length to charging time.
c. Use the battery rating, the charge level of the battery, and amp setting to be used on the
charger in the formula provided below.
Amp Hour Rating of Battery × Percent of Charged Needed
Amp Setting Selected On Charger
NOTE: The length of charge times are approximate and varies from the battery to
battery. Always follow the battery manufacturer's specific charging instructions.
CHARGING
NOTE: Before using the charger, please review all safety and connection directions.
Failure to do so can damage battery and cause serious injury or death.
•Connect the charger to battery per the operating instructions.
•Connect the charger to AC outlet.
•Select the appropriate charging mode for your batteries.
•If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the Reverse Polarity Indicator
LED will light or the Error Code will appear on LCD display until such a battery is detected.
Charging will not begin while the Reverse Polarity Indicator LED is on or the error code
appears. When the charging begins, the charging process Icon on LCD display will appear.
•When charging is completed, unplug the charger from the AC outlet first and then disconnect
the batteries with charger.
AUTOMATIC CHARGE STAGE
Automatic Battery Charger features 9-stage, high-efficiency charging technology, built-in
Micro process control IC that ensures fast, safe and complete charging of serviceable
batteries.
High Frequency (Switch Mode) Smart Charging Stages
× 1.25 = Hours to Charge
6
Automatic Micro Process Control Unit Charge:
Stage 1 - Diagnosis: Analyze if the battery can accept a charge or not, and then prevent
charging from proceeding on the a defective battery;
Stage2- Desulphation: The charger can rescue most drained batteries with voltages up to a
Min 1.5±0.5V
Stage 3 - Pre-charge: If the battery voltage is less than 12V, charge it at the smaller
current,which will protect the battery better;
Stage 4 - Soft start: Charge the battery to the maximum current gradually and never sudden-
ly.
Stage 5 - CC1/CC2/CC3 (Constant Current): The charger automatically adjusts the current
according to the battery status in constant current, which benefits the battery for a long life;
Stage 6- CV (Constant Voltage): The battery is charged to nearly full, and will top off at 14.6V
DC;
Stage 7 - Resting: The charger will cut off with full charged statement, and achieves the high
energy efficiency;
Stage 8-Recond: When it is fully charged and low to 12.8V within 2min, the charger will judge
automatically.
Stage 9 - Restoring: The charger monitors a fully charged battery automatically. If the battery
falls below 12.8V DC, the charger will restart from stage 4 to stage 7.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
a. REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
The REVERSE POLARITY INDICATOR LED will light and the power will not be sent to
output cables if a reverse connection is detected.
b. SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
This protection is triggered if the charger detects less than 0.5V across the clamps, and no
power will be sent to output cables. Refer to Error Code of "Er1" in the section of TROUBLE-
SHOOTING ERROR CODES.
c. OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
When the charger is set to charge in a different voltage than the detected voltage of the
battery, this protection will be engaged. Refer to Error Code of "Er1" in the section of TROU-
BLESHOOTING ERROR CODES.
d. BATTERY DIAGNOTICS FUNCTION
The charger continuously monitors battery condition and may report certain charging failures
as fault codes. Refer to Error Code of "Er1" and "Er2" in the section of TROUBLESHOOTING
ERROR CODES. Conditions that cause the errors include: if the battery voltage does not rise
appropriately during the charging process (indicating a shorted cell) or if the maximum
charge time has been exceeded, etc.
e. BATTERY RECONDITIONING FUNCTION
If a battery is discharged deeply, it could become sulphated and unable to accept a charge.
Reconditioning Function may help reverse the effects of sulphation and restore a batteries
ability to accept a charge. If the charger detects a sulphated battery, it will automatically
activate Battery Reconditioning Function. If successful, normal recharging will resume after
the battery is desulphated. If unsuccessful at desulphating the battery, refer to Error Code of
"Er2" in the section of TROUBLESHOOTING ERROR CODES.
