CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1 - Pre Charge Check & Electrolyte Level Check
 Check the Battery Electrolyte level (Not required on sealed & Maintenance Free
Batteries).
If necessary, remove the vent caps and add distilled water so the levels are halfway
between the upper and lower fill lines.
 Check the Voltage Output Switch on the charger and make sure it's on the correct
voltage
STEP 2 - Connecting the Battery charger to your Battery
 If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
o Connect the Red lead from the charger to the positive (+) battery terminal.
o Connect the Black lead from the charger to the negative (-) battery terminal.
 If Battery is still in the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is positively or negatively
earthed.
o If Negatively Earthed (Most Common) – FIRST Connect the Red (+) battery
charger lead to the positive (+) Battery post and then connect the Black (-)
battery charger lead to the vehicle's chassis and away from the fuel line.
o If Positively Earthed – FIRST Connect the Black (-) battery charger lead to the
Negative (-) battery post and then connect the Red (+) battery charger lead to
the Vehicle's chassis and far away from the fuel line.
STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power
 Connect the battery charger to the Mains Powered socket.
 The Charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.
(Note: If the Fault Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it's
likely that the Positive and Negative Leads are reversed. Refer to Trouble Shooting
Page for further information)

THE CHARGING PROCESS:

The charging stages and performance are as follows:
ECO Mode
If ac power is connected, and the battery is not connected, after 10 seconds, the charger will
automatically go into ECO mode.
 The Green LED is fast flashing indicates the ECO mode.
Battery Initial Qualification
When the battery is connected and ac powers on, the program will automatically run
qualification as the following processes:
- Detects the battery internal impedance and initial voltage.
- Determine the charging rate acceptance.
