OPERATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
Suitable for 12V Normal Lead Acid, Sealed, Leisure or Gel Batteries between
10-180Ah.
1. Charging your battery
It is essential to disconnect the battery from the car. This will avoid possible damage to the
alternator. To avoid damage to the bodywork from possible spillage, remove the battery
completely from the vehicle. It is advisable to use gloves when handling the battery, as
there is a high possibility of corrosive acid being on the outside of the battery.
2. Preparing the battery
Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient in
each cell. If it is below the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled water.
Note: Under no circumstances should tap water be used.
The cell caps should not be replaced until charging is complete. This allows any gases
formed during charging to escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of acid will occur
during charging.
For permanently sealed battery, it is not necessary to carry out the above checks.
3. Connection
Connect the positive charging lead (red) to the positive terminal post of the battery
(marked P or +). Connect the negative charging lead (black) to the negative terminal post
of the battery (marked N or -). It is important to ensure that both DC clamps are making
good contact with their respective terminal posts.
Connect the charger's AC power cable to an AC power outlet. Once you have connected the
DFC900N battery charger to AC power, it will sound a tone for 0,5 seconds and the Simple
Touch power panel LEDs light for two seconds.
4. Reverse Polarity
If the DC battery clamps are connected improperly to the battery terminals, the reverse
polarity LED will indicate the reversed polarity. The battery charger's warning buzzer will
also sound. If this occurs simply disconnect the battery charger from the AC power. Connect
the DC clamps correctly to the battery terminals. Reconnect the charger to the AC power.
