Operating Information

8.1.

General information on battery charging

•
It is essential to observe the maximum permissible charge current for each individual battery.
•
At the end of the charge process, check that the charged-in capacity is close to your expectations.
This will prevent problems resulting from premature charge termination.
•
The charge leads must be of adequate conductor cross-section, and should be no longer than 30
cm. The resistance of cables which are too thin and / or too long may have an adverse effect on
the charge process.
•
Check visually that all contacts are secure; all connectors must be a firm fit, i.e. no chance of
intermittent contact.
•
Check before you initiate the charge process that the program you have selected is appropriate to
the battery connected to the charger, and that you have selected the correct settings to suit the
battery type you are using.
•
Never leave your batteries on charge unsupervised.
8.2.

Using the charger for the first time

• Please observe the Safety Notes and the General Charging Information when carrying out the
following procedures.
• Connect the MULTIcharger LN-6015 EQU to your car battery using the crocodile clips supplied.
Alternatively you can connect the charger (using the 4 mm banana plugs) to a stabilised mains
PSU with an output voltage of 11 V to 15 V. In either case take care to maintain correct polarity.
(red = positive terminal, black = negative terminal)
• Connect the battery to be charged to the unit's charge sockets using a suitable charge lead (red =
positive terminal, black = negative terminal). Our recommended charge leads are listed at the end
of these instructions in Chapter 18. – Accessories.
• If you wish to charge, equalize or discharge a Lithium battery (LiPo, LiFe or LiIo), connect the
pack's balancer socket to the EQUALIZER port on the MULTIcharger LN-6015 EQU. If your
battery is fitted with a Graupner / robbe or Polyquest balancer socket, suitable adaptor sets are
available as listed in Chapter 18. - Accessories.
