WARNING: EXPLOSIVE GAS!
B
atteries generate explosive gas (hydrogen) during normal
„
operation and even greater quantities during recharging.
A
void creating flames or sparks.
„
T
he battery charger itself can generate sparks. Make sure
„
that the clamps cannot be accidentally released from the
battery's poles.
M
ake sure that the plug is unplugged from the socket before
„
connecting or disconnecting the cable clamps.
N
ever let the cable clamps touch each other.
„
P
rovide adequate ventilation during charging.
„
W
henever permitted by the type of battery, remove the caps
„
and check the level of the electrolyte in the cells, adding
distilled water if necessary. Make sure that the electrolyte
level is 5-10 mm over the battery's cells.
C
harge the battery with the electrolyte caps in place. Many
„
batteries have flame retardant caps. Place a damp cloth over
electrolyte caps that are not flame retardant.
C
arefully read the recharging instructions provided by the
„
Manufacturer for maintenance -free batteries.
N
ever open the electrolyte caps in maintenance-free
„
batteries.
S
ome maintenance-free batteries have level indicators.
„
Whenever the acid level is indicated as being too low, the
battery must be replaced. Never attempt to recharge such
batteries.
N
ever charge frozen batteries that might explode.
„
N
ever attempt to charge batteries that cannot be recharged
„
or other types than those indicated.
A
lways wear safety goggles closed at the sides, acid-proof
„
safety gloves, and acid-proof clothing.
N
ever position your face close to the battery.
„
P
osition the battery charger as far as possible from the
„
battery
N
ever let acid drip onto the battery charger, cables or
„
clamps.
Additional warnings
N
ever position the battery charger on flammable surfaces.
„
N
ever place the battery charger and its cables in the water
„
or on wet surfaces.
P
osition the battery charger with adequate ventilation; never
„
cover it with other objects or close it inside containers or
closed shelves.
Warnings for batteries in vehicles
M
aintain a safe distance from all moving parts, such as fans,
„
transmission belts and pulleys.
M
aintain a safe distance from all heated surfaces such as
„
engines and cooling systems to avoid burns.
Warnings for batteries in vehicles
N
ever connect both battery charger clamps directly to the
„
poles of the battery. Always connect the first clamp to the
battery and the second clamp to a thick part of the body or
the engine far from the battery, fuel tank cap and fuel line.
In this way, the generation of a spark will not create danger.
Connect the battery charger to the power supply only after
performing the operation above.
I
n order to interrupt charging, disconnect the following in
„
the order below: the plug from the power supply socket, the
clamp connected to the vehicle's body, and then the clamp
connected directly to the battery .

Battery charger description
This automatic battery charger with inverter switching
technology is designed to charge different types of lead
battery: flooded lead acid batteries requiring maintenance or
maintenance free (MF), GEL and AGM batteries.
L
Respect the instructions provided by the battery
Manufacturer for recharging.
Control and signal LEDs - Fig. 1
A) Error LED: inverted polarity
B) Charging in process LED: (battery discharged)
C) Charge level LED.: (battery charged)
Technical data
Input: 230 Volt 50/60 Hz
Recharging current: 0.8 Amp Max
Recharging voltage: 12 Volt or 6 Volt according to the model
Rated reference capacity: 1.2 - 35 Ah
Charging cycle: IUoUp with 3 automatic switching phases
Battery charger connection
¾ Make sure that the voltage of the battery corresponds to the
battery charger's charging voltage.
¾ Make sure that the plug is not plugged into the socket.
¾ Connect the red clamp (+) to the battery's positive pole and
the black clamp (-) to the battery's negative pole.
¾ Plug the plug into the socket to begin charging.
L
The "A" LED lights up whenever the clamps have been
connected to the battery with reverse polarity. Invert the
connection.
¾ In order to interrupt charging, first unplug the plug from the
socket and then disconnect the clamps from the battery.
L
If the "B" or "C" LED fails to light up after the plug has
been plugged into the socket, this means that no voltage
is reaching the battery charger or that the connection to
the battery is incorrect. Check both the power connection
and the clamps.
L
If the "B" or "C" LED flash rapidly for prolonged time, this
means that the battery is no longer receiving the charge
(i.e. sulphation has occurred in the plates). If these LEDs
light up in alternation every 10-20 seconds, it means that
battery cannot hold the charge (high self-discharge).
Charging program description
Charging at 14.4 Volt – 0.8 Amp (Mod 12V)
Charging at 7.2 Volt – 0.8 Amp (Mod 6V)
Suited for batteries with capacity in the range of 1.2 - 35Ah:
e.g. motorcycles.
Charging follows an IUoUp cycle with 3 phases with automatic
switching. Fig. 2
PHASE 1
Charging with the maximum current until the voltage of the
battery is raised above 14,4V (Mod 12V); 7,2V (Mod 6V) ("B"
LED lit up). In this phase, the battery is brought to around 80%
of its charge.
PHASE 2
Charging with constant voltage until the current delivered
reaches a value of 0.4A ("B" LED lit up).
Whenever charging lasts longer than 18 hours, the battery
charger shifts to the next phase in order to avoid damaging
defective batteries.
PHASE 3
End of charging and shift to the battery charge level checking
process ("C" LED lit up). After the battery has been charged,
the battery charger checks the battery's voltage, and
