4.1. PREPARATION
4.1.1. It is important to correctly prepare for charging, ensuring that you follow Section 1 safety requirements carefully.
4.1.2. Check that the capacity of the battery is compatible with charger output.
4.1.3. Charging current (amps) should not exceed one tenth of the value of the battery capacity (amp hours).
4.1.4. Check battery to ensure that the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE terminals are clearly identiable before removing the battery from the vehicle.
4.1.5. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for charging the battery. Disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle and place in
an appropriate safe area ready for charging.
4.1.6. Remove the battery electrolyte cover or caps to allow the gases produced by charging to escape.
4.1.7. Check that the electrolyte uid level in the battery is above the plates. If not, add distilled water to cover them by 5-10mm.
8 DO NOT touch the battery uid as it is corrosive.
4.1.8. The correct charging status of the battery may be determined by using a hydrometer which will measure the specic density of the
electrolyte. The following gures (kg/L) apply at 20°C:
1.28 = Fully charged, 1.21 = Half charged, 1.14 = Fully discharged.
WARNING! Be cautious and vigilant as the electrolyte is highly corrosive acid.
4.2. CONNECTING CHARGER TO BATTERY
4.2.1. Ensure that the battery charger is unplugged from the mains power supply before connecting power leads to the battery.
4.2.2. Select the charger voltage to match that of the battery by setting the rocker switch to either 12 or 24 volts. Initially, always set the
Charge Rate rocker switch to ‘MIN’.
4.2.3. Check the charger clamps and battery terminals to ensure that they are clean and free from oxidation.
4.2.4. Connect the charger POSITIVE (Red or +) lead to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery and the NEGATIVE (Black or -) lead to the

4.3. CHARGING THE BATTERY
4.3.1. Connect the charger to the mains power supply and turn it on with the front panel mounted ON/OFF switch.
4.3.2. Check the current delivery to the battery by reading the ammeter on the front of the battery charger. During charging the pointer on the
ammeter will slowly move to the left according to the capacity and condition of the battery (see g.1, meter face may vary according to
model.)
4.3.3. If a boost charge is required, ensure that an initial charge has built up rst before moving the Charge Rate rocker switch to ‘BOOST’,
see g.2.
4.3.4. To indicate that the battery is fully charged the reading on the ammeter should be at the “0”output indicator. To correspond with this the
electrolyte in the battery will begin to gas. Stop charging at this point in order to protect the battery plates from damage.
WARNING! The charger will not switch o automatically. The state of charge should be regularly monitored by the person with
responsibility for charging the battery.
8 DO NOT leave the charger operating unattended or overnight.
4.3.5. Unplug the charger from the mains power supply and then disconnect the clamps from the battery terminals. Clean and store the
charger in a safe, dry area.
4.3.6. Replace the battery electrolyte cover or caps. Wipe up any splashes or spillages, remembering that the electrolyte is a corrosive acid.
Return the battery to the vehicle, secure according the manufacturer’s instructions and re-connect the power leads.
4.3.7. Check to ensure that all tools are removed before closing the bonnet or boot.
FIG.1 FIG.2
4.3.8. SEALED BATTERIES
4.3.8.1. Charge a sealed battery very slowly, carefully monitoring the voltage across the battery terminals using a normal tester.
4.3.8.2. When the battery terminal voltage reaches 14.4V for 12V batteries or 28.8V for 24V batteries, stop charging.
4.4. MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING
WARNING! DO NOT simultaneously charge dierent types of battery or batteries with dierent capacities or levels of discharge.
4.4.1. A number of batteries may be charged at the same time. To do so we recommend “parallel connection” as shown in g.3.
4.4.2. Two batteries may be charged in series using the 24V output as shown in g.4.
FIG.3 FIG.4
4.5. FUSE
4.5.1. The charger is equipped with two front panel mounted fuses. The output protection fuse on the left will interrupt the circuit in the
following circumstances:
a) Overload - too high a current to the battery.
b) Short circuit - clamps touch, or cross-connection to battery.
c) If the output fuse blows take the following action:
Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply.
Allow the unit to cool down, establish the reason for fuse blowing and correct.
Replace the fuse. DO NOT use a fuse with copper bridge or similar as these will damage your charger.
Refer to Section 3 ‘Specications’ for fuse information. We recommend that you hold 2 spare fuses with
the charger.
4.5.2. The input protection fuse is situated to the right hand side of the control panel, see g.3. If this fuse blows, replace only with a fuse of
the same value.
4.6. THERMAL PROTECTION
4.6.1. When a high current causes the charger to overheat the internal thermal protection will cut o the current. When the charger has
cooled suciently it will automatically reconnect.
