FIRST AID:

Eyes: If you get battery fluid in your eyes, rinse with water for
at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
Skin: If you get battery acid on your skin, rinse immediately
in plenty of fresh water and wash thoroughly with soap and
water. Seek medical attention if redness, pain or irritation
persists.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Connecting
• Before charging and trickle charging a battery permanently
connected to the vehicle, first disconnect the battery's
negative terminal connection cable (black) from the negative
battery terminal. The negative battery terminal is typically
connected to the car body.
• Then disconnect the vehicle's positive terminal connection
cable (red) from the positive battery terminal.
• Only then connect the battery charger's "+" crocodile clamp
(red) (7) to the "+" battery terminal.
• Connect the "-" crocodile clamp (black) (6) to the "–" battery
terminal. Plug the car charger's mains cable (9) into the
mains socket.
• Note: If the connector clamps are correctly connected, the
display will show the voltage and "connected" will light
up. If the poles are reversed, the display will read 0.0 and
"connected" will not light up.
Disconnecting
• Disconnect the device from the mains.
• Remove the "–" crocodile clamp (black) (6) from the "–"
battery terminal.
• Remove the "+" crocodile clamp (red) (7) from the "+" battery
terminal.
• Reconnect the vehicle's positive connection cable to the
positive battery terminal.
• Reconnect the vehicle's negative connection cable to the
negative battery terminal.
Selecting the charging mode
You can charge a variety of batteries at different ambient tem-
peratures using diffent charging modes. Compared to con-
ventional car chargers, this device features a special function
for reusing a drained battery / rechargeable battery. You can
recharge a completely drained battery / rechargeable battery.
The safe charging process protects against faulty connection
and short-circuits. The integrated electronics do not switch the
car charger on immediately after being connected, but only af-
ter selecting a charging mode.
If the connector clamps connected to the battery and the de-
vice is connected to power, the digital display (10) will read
"Connected". After selecting a charging mode, the display will
read "Charging". Once charging is complete, the display will
read "Charged".
A continuously lit display with the battery not yet fully charged
indicate a fault.
• In this event, verify the connection clamps (6), (7) are
correctly connected to the battery and the correct battery
type is selected. If the display is still continuously lit, the
battery may be defective.
• Indication and protection of reverse connection of batter
12V/24V battery recondition function.
Digital Display button (1): Use to switch be- tween the digital
display of voltage and charging progress in percent (Battery %).
Use this button to switch between the following displays:
– Battery %: indicates the charging progress for the connected
battery in percent.
– Voltage: indicates the voltage of the connected battery.
– Alternator %: output power in percent
Battery Type button (2): Use this button to set the battery type
to be charged. You can choose from battery types. The battery
type must absolutely be correctly selected before starting the
charging process:
- 12V /24V Regular: these batteries (lead-acid batteries) are
typically used in cars, lorries and motorcycles. They have
vent caps and are often labelled "low-maintenance" or
"maintenance-free". This battery type is designed to quickly
transfer energy (e.g. starting an engine). "Regular" batteries
2
should not be used for "Deep Cycle" applications.
- 12V/24V AGM / Gel: The AGM battery type is typi- cally a
good Deep Cycle battery. They provide the best "life" when
recharged before being drained more than 50 %. When fully
discharged they withstand about 300 charging cycles. The GEL
battery type is similar to AGM. The charging voltage is lower
than for other lead-acid batteries. Using the wrong charger for
a Gel battery will result in a reduction in power or a shorter life.
Charge Start button (3): Use this button to switch between the
following options
– Fast Charge: charges quickly (recommended in low outdoor
temperatures / winter)
– Normal Charge: normal charging process (nor- mal speed)
– Start: briefl delivers 75Ampere to bridge aweak or drained
battery to engine start an engine
Attention: This mode can only be exited by unplug- ging the
mains plug (9)
Engine starting
WARNING: Always make all the connections as described and
in the correct order. The vehicle's electronics may otherwise be
damaged. Proceed against the specifications at your own risk
and responsibility.
Attention: This function is not suitable for batteries below 45
Ah. This function could damage batteries below 45 Ah. Diesel
vehicles and large-volume engines in part re- quire amperages
above 75A for engine starting.
Note: The charger features an analysis program to protect the
battery from damage (e.g. sulphation or rapid voltage drops),
particularly during starting. The device will not switch on the
start- er with severely drained or heavily stressed batteries to
protect the battery. During this process the battery is already
being charged with lower currents (Charg- ing lights up). The
display continues to read "0". In this event the engine start
function cannot be used. This will protect the battery from
damage. You should then first charge the battery. You may
also use the "Fast Charge" or "Normal Charge" function for this
purpose.
• Connect the car charger's mains cable (9) to power.
• Connect the red connector clamp (7) to the positive battery
terminal. (The positive terminal is marked with a "+" symbol
and a red mark.)
• Connect the black connector clamp (6) to the negative
battery terminal. (The negative terminal is marked with a "-"
symbol and a black mark.)
• If the connector clamps are connected correctly, the car
charger will automatically select the cor- rect battery type.
You may review it in the "Bat- tery Type" option field and if
necessary change it by pressing the battery type button (2)
• Now select the "Start" function using the Charge Start button
(3) The cart charger will now ana- lyse the battery's charge
level. The display will now read "0".
• Start the vehicle's ignition. The display will now show a 5
second countdown (of which 2 second priming / analysis
function and 3 second engine start function at 75A) when
needing the car charger for engine starting (previously
analysed by the car charger). During this countdown the car
charger will briefly deliver 75A to bridge the battery to start
the car. This is followed by a 180 second pause to protect
the battery. The cycle will now restart (2 second priming /
anal- ysis function and 3 second engine starting at 75A / 180
second pause).
• To disconnect the device, first remove the terminal clamps
(6/7) and unplug the power cord (9)
Note: If the battery is completely drained, the 75A will not be
sufficient to start all engines (e.g. diesel vehicles).
• In this case, please select the "Fast Charge" option using
the Charge Start button (3) and charge the battery 60 %
(preheating of diesel engines draws power from the battery.
This re- quires 60 % after preheating).
You can monitor the charging process in the display by
selecting the "Battery %" option using the digital display button
(1)
• Once 60 % has been reached, engine start again.
• Attention: Exit the mode by unplugging the mains cable (9)
• Note: If the connection terminals are connected correctly,
the display screen displays the voltage, and the „connected"
indicator lights up. If the polarity is reversed, the display
shows 0.0 and the reverse polarity LED lights up red on the
digital display.
