Charging Instructions - BS Charger BS60 Manuel D'utilisation

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 - Pre charge check & electrolyte level check
•
Check the Battery Electrolyte levels (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 battery voltage, type and Ah capacity to ensure the charger is compatible and to determine which Battery Type and
Charge Rate settings you will use.
• Ensure the battery is in a well-ventilated area and the charger should be as far away from the battery as the cables permit.
STEP 2 - Connecting the battery charger to your battery
• If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
- Connect the Red (+)
Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal to
terminal.
- Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal to the (-) battery
terminal.
• If the battery is still in the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is positively or negatively earthed.
If negatively earthed (Most Common) FIRST Connect
optional ring terminal lead to
(-) Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal lead to the vehicle's chassis. DO NOT
connect the Black (-) lead to the carburetor or fuel
If Positively Earthed - FIRST Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or optional ring
terminal lead to the (-) battery terminal and then connect
or optional ring terminal lead to the vehicle's chassis. DO NOT connect
lead to the carburetor or fuel lines.
STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (230Vac)
• The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.
• IMPORTANT: please make sure the correct Battery Type and your desired Charge Rate is selected to suit your battery by pressing
the Select Buttons within the first 5 minutes of charging. For example do not charge a Gel Battery on the Calcium Battery Type
setting as this may damage your battery and / or reduce your battery life.
Note: if the Error Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it's likely that the positive and negative leads are reversed.
STEP 4 - Disconnecting the Battery charger from Battery
•
If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
1. Switch OFF and Remove the AC Power Socket from the outlet.
2. Remove the Black lead and then the Red lead.
• If the battery is still in the vehicle:
1. Switch OFF and Remove the AC Power Socket from the outlet.
2. Remove the lead from the vehicle chassis.
3. Remove the lead from the battery.
Note: check electrolyte levels if possible after charging as they may need topping up with distilled water. (This does not apply to
sealed maintenance free batteries)
