Charging - probst VAKUUM-POWER-HANDY VPH Instructions D'emploi

Before charging batteries with liquid acid, open the closing plug of the
individual cells. Air the battery case for 2 minutes so inflammable gases can
volatilise. Check the liquid level when charging and, if necessary, refill it. In
addition, check the liquid regularly in case of longer charging time (hibernation).
Use safety goggles. Do not spill lead-acid-batteries. Avoid any kind of contact
with the battery liquid since it can cause serious burns. In case of contact,
wash off the contact spot (skin, clothes etc.) immediately with plenty of water
to dissolve the battery acid. Always see a doctor in case of skin contact. Keep
recharging lead-acid-batteries from time to time, at least every 3 months, if
stored for a longer period of time to prevent deep discharge. Never bypass
the battery contacts. When connecting the batteries, it is necessary to consider
the polarity and the charging instructions of the respective battery manufacturer.

1. First of all, set up the cell voltage at the back of the device (2/6 or 12V).
2. Place the charger in a mains socket (230 V~). The green LED "net" (Netz)
lights up if there is a mains voltage.
3. Connect the battery with the correct polarity. Red polarity clamp on positive
pole, black polarity clamp on negative pole. The charging process starts
automatically. The yellow charging display "Charge" (Laden) is lit up as long
as a charge current flows.
4. If the red display „Reverse polarity" (Verpolt) lights up, check the polarity of
the battery terminal clamps immediately and change them.

Disconnect the charger from the mains. Pull the plug and not the cable. In case
you interrupt the charging process of a battery which is built-in in a vehicle,
always disconnect the battery cable from the body, followed by the other
battery cable (inverse order compared to connecting the battery).
AtteNtioN!
Signs of a defective battery:
– Smell of gas in the room
– Different temperatures of individual cells when touching the battery
– Mechanic and thermal deformation of the battery case or charger.
– Different liquid level in the cells or liquid leakage.
