Safety/Operation

Product features
This appliance has been designed for charging a variety of SLA batteries (sealed lead acid batteries), as mainly used in cars, motorbikes and several other vehicles. They may be of types e.g. WET (with liquid electrolyte), GEL (with mit gel-type electolyte) or AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries. Their capacity ranges from 12V/1.2Ah to 12V/120Ah. A special design of the appliance (also named three-phase-charging strategy) enables the recharging of the batttery to almost 100% of its original capacity. Furthermore, a long-term connection of the battery to the charging station can take place to keep the battery in optimal condition when not in use, without it being damaged in the process.

For charging various batteries at different ambient temperatures you can choose between three different charging modes. Select the most efficient and suitable charging mode for charging the battery. In comparison with conventional battery charging stations, this appliance has a special function for reusing an empty battery or rechargeable battery. You can recharge an empty battery/rechargeable battery. Safe charging is ensured by means of a protection function against incorrect connection and short circuiting. Due to the installed electronics, the charging station does not begin operation directly after connecting the battery, but only starts after a charging mode has been selected.
This avoids sparking, which often occurs when connecting. Furthermore, this device is also controlled by an internal MCU (Micro-Computer-Unit), which makes it faster, more powerful and more reliable.

If the charging station is connected to a battery and the charging process starts it automatically recognises the battery voltage. It changes to pulse charging mode if the voltage is in the range of 7.5V 0.5 to 10.5V 0.5V. This pulse charging process is continued until the battery voltage has increased to 10.5V 0.5V. As soon as this condition is reached, the charging station changes over to the previously selected normal charging mode. Now the battery can be charged quickly and safely. Most empty batteries can be charged and used again using this procedure.

Mode 4

12 V (14.7 V / 3.8 A)

Operation / Maintenance and care / Service / Warranty
Press the MODE selection button 9 to select
mode 4. As you select the desired mode, the 5 lights up imappropriate LED indicator mediately.

Service

The battery charger detects the battery voltage automatically once the battery charger is connected to a battery and the charging process has started. It changes to pulse charging mode if the voltage is in the range of 7.5 V 0.5 to 10.5 V 0.5 V. This pulse charging process is continued until the battery voltage has increased to 10.5 V 0.5 V. As soon as this state is reached, the battery charger switches into the normal charging mode that you selected earlier. Now the battery can be charged quickly and safely. Most empty batteries can be charged and used again using this procedure.
WARNING! Have your device repaired at the service centre or by qualified specialist personnel using original manufacturer parts only. This will ensure that your device remains safe to use. WARNING!
