The Charging Process - BS Charger BS60 Manual De Instrucciones

STEP 2 - Connecting the battery charger to your battery
 If the Battery is out of the vehicle:
- Connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal to the (+) battery terminal.
- Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal to the (-) battery terminal.
 If the battery is still in the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is positively or negatively earthed.
If Negatively Earthed (Most Common) – FIRST Connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or
optional ring terminal lead to the (+) battery terminal and then connect the Black (-)
Crocodile clip or optional ring terminal lead to the vehicle's chassis. DO NOT connect the
Black (-) lead to the carburetor or fuel lines.
If Positively Earthed – FIRST Connect the Black (-) Crocodile clip or optional ring
terminal lead to the (-) battery terminal and then connect the Red (+) Crocodile clip or
optional ring terminal lead to the vehicle's chassis. DO NOT connect the Red (+) lead to
the carburetor or fuel lines.
STEP 3 - Connect the battery charger to Mains Power (230Vac)

The charger will automatically start when AC power is connected and switched on.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure the correct Battery Type and your desired Charge Rate is selected to suit your battery by pressing
the Select Buttons within the first 5 minutes of charging. For Example do not charge a Gel Battery on the Calcium Battery Type setting
as this may damage your battery and / or reduce your battery life.
Note: If the Error Indicator LED illuminates Red, please check your connections as it's likely that the Positive and Negative Leads are
reversed.

THE CHARGING PROCESS:

1) Qualification - Battery Condition Check
When the charger is first switched on it checks the battery condition to determine whether the battery needs reconditioning. During this
qualification process it checks the internal impedance and initial voltage of the battery and it will determine how much charge current, if
any that the battery will accept. It's also senses whether the battery is still connected in the vehicle.
2) Enhanced Battery Rejuvenation - Blue Bulk LED Flashing Fast
If the initial qualification detected that the battery was in poor condition, the patented rejuvenation process will begin automatically.
During the rejuvenation process a high voltage equalizing and peak pulse reconditioning charge is used to repair the sulphated battery.
This unique patented feature will break down and dissolve the lead-sulphate crystal build up on the battery plates which will extend the
life of your battery. It can also balance out high concentrations of acid.
3) Soft Start Charging - Blue Bulk LED Flashing Slow
Gently charges the battery using a reduced charge output until the battery voltages reaches 11V. If the battery voltage doesn't reach 11V
within 6 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the unit from charging and the Red Error LED and Blue Bulk LED will start flashing.
4) Bulk Charging - Blue Bulk LED ON (Charge Voltage depends on battery type selection)
Uses the maximum selected charge output until the battery voltage reaches 14.1/14.4/14.7V. If the battery voltage doesn't reach this
within 24 hours, the safety timer protection will stop the unit from charging and the Red Error LED will start flashing and the Blue Bulk
LED will be ON.
5) Absorption Charging - Green Absorption LED ON
Uses a constant voltage while reducing the charging output current to ensure the battery receives a full charge without overcharging the
battery.
6) Equalization Charging - Blue Bulk LED and Green Absorption LED both flashing
A well proven process that carefully overcharges the battery to restore it's full capacity. The Equalization stage for CALCIUM Battery
type selection is automatic. The Equalization stage for AGM&WET and GEL Battery Types only occurs if the initial start voltage is
below 11 Volts.
7) Battery Analysis - Green Full LED ON
The battery analysis stage checks the condition of the battery after the charge cycle is completed. If the battery voltage drops too quickly
during the analysis mode, this means the battery is probably faulty. If the battery analysis failed, this is indicated by the Green Full LED
flashing.
8) Float Mode – Full charge Green LED ON
This stage allows you to keep the charger connected 24/7 to ensure your battery is well maintained and kept 100% fully charged. Float
mode will maintain the battery at a constant 13.6V.
9) Long Term Maintenance – Full charge Green LED ON
During long term maintenance / float mode, the unit will apply a special pulse charge to ensure the battery is kept in optimal condition.
