Battery charger LOAD UP 77008 and 77005-1 with starter:
The battery charger with starter is a device capable of supplying a strong current,
which is necessary to start the vehicle. Besides the inner thermal protection with
automatic reset device, the machines are provided with an amperometric
protection with fuse reset. Make sure that the maximum current supplied by the
machine – as shown on the plate – is at least equal to or a little higher than the
maximum current of the battery installed. For instance, if the battery installed in
the vehicle is 88 Ah, its starting current is comprised between 3 and 3.5 times the
nominal capacity, that is between 260 A and 310 A. See also chapters 5.0, 6.0
and table 9.1.
