the negative terminal connection cable to the
negative battery terminal or the car body. Only
connect the positive terminal connection cable
to the positive battery terminal!
• Before connecting to the mains, verify the
mains power has the required 230 V~ 50 Hz,
neutral lead, a 16 A fuse and an ELCB switch
(earth leakage circuit breaker)! Ignoring this
advice may damage the device.
• Do not place the charger close to fire, heat
and prolonged temperatures over 50 °C! The
output power of the car charger automatically
drops In higher temperatures.
• Ensure no fuel lines, electric cables, hydraulic-,
water pipes are damaged by the screws whilst
assembling the charger! Otherwise there is a
risk of death or injuries!
• Only use the car charger with the included

• Do not cover the car charger with objects!
Ignoring this advice may damage the device.
• Protect the surfaces of the battery's electrical
contacts from short circuiting!
• Only use the car charger for charging and
maintenance charging undamaged 6 V- / 12 V
leadacid batteries (with electrolyte solution or
gel)!
• Otherwise material damage could occur.
• Do not use the car charger for charging or
trickle charging non-rechargeable batteries.
Otherwise material damage could occur.
• Do not use the car charger to charge or
trickle charge a damaged or frozen battery!
Otherwise material damage could occur.
• Before connecting the charger, refer to the
battery' s original operating instructions for
battery maintenance information! Otherwise
there is a risk of injury and / or damaging the

Product properties

This device is designed to charge a variety of SLA
batteries (sealed lead-acid batteries) primarily
used in cars, motorcycles and some other
vehicles. These can be e.g. WET- (with liquid
electrolyte), GEL- (with gelifi electrolyte) or AGM
batteries (with electrolyte absorbent glass mat).
The special design of the device (also referred
to as "three-level charging strategy") allows
the battery to be charged to nearly 100 % of its
capacity. The charger can further be connected
to the battery for extended periods to keep it in
optimal condition.
Connecting
• Before charging and trickle charging a battery
permanently connected to the vehicle, first
disconnect the batteries negative terminal
connection cable (black) from the negative
battery terminal. The negative battery terminal
is typically connected to the car body.
• Then disconnect the vehicle's positive terminal
connection cable (red) from the positive
battery terminal.
