Bahco BBA1224-3200 Manuel Du Propriétaire page 12

– A battery is « cooked » because of:
• A connection of the Booster in position 12V to a vehicle 24V. *
• A recharge on a non automatic garage charger (more than 14,4V tension). *
– The batteries are swollen because of:
• A recharge with a non automatic garage charger or in position « fast charge » or
« boost », or a recharge of the Booster when the battery is deeply discharged. *
D. The voltmeter does not function:
– The internal fuse is blown (see point 3.5.).
– The voltmeter or push button is broken or defective.
– The tension of the batteries is below 9V.
5.2. GENERAL QUESTIONS
A. Can a Booster too powerful (example 12/24V-2400/1200CA) damage a small
engine (example a motor bike) ?
No, as long the voltage is respected. The engine will only take the necessary power
(amps) to start.
B. May I use my Booster as battery for my fridge, mobile phone,... ?
Yes this is possible but not at all recommended. Because under 12,4V the
sulphatation process starts (see point 4.1.).
C. How many times do I need to recharge the Booster ?
The power of the provided charger is designed to recharge the Booster at 100%
overnight (for a normal use).
D. Once the Booster is connected to the vehicle to jump start, do I have to make
the start attempt quickly ?
Yes, otherwise a part of the tension of the Booster will be transferred to the empty
battery of the vehicle. Your booster will be discharged for the next start.
6. ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF VEHICLES
6.1. HISTORY
For more than twenty years, vehicles and engines of all kind are provided with
electronic components more and more sophisticated.
Those are perfectly compatible with the use of a Booster in contrary to the old starting
practices, still too much used and extremely dangerous for vehicle electronics and for
the health and safety of the users.
6.2. CAR MANUFACTURERS' RECOMMENDATIONS
Our boosters perfectly match manufacturers' requirements. None prohibits or advises
against the use of a battery or a release booster.
Faced with the multiple requests from garage owners, some manufacturers have
worked out a process of intervention to follow if the battery fails that excludes any
other form of intervention under pain of loss of warranty.
It is, therefore, important to read the vehicle user manual before doing anything on a
vehicle's battery.
