OPERATION

This product is designed to charge and maintain 12V/24V lead acid batteries with a

capacity of 4-300Ah. The charger has been optimised to maintain the battery of your

vehicle when it is not being used over longer periods of time, for example over the

winter. The charger is designed to charge Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4), AGM

and Standard Lead Acid batteries.

NOTE: DO NOT use to charge other types of Lithium batteries.

Any use other then described in this manual may damage this product and involves

the risk of short circuits, fire and/or electric shock.

CHARGER LOCATION

1. Place the charger as far away from the battery as possible. NEVER place the

charger on the battery or the battery on the charger.

2. DO NOT position the charger above the battery during the charging procedure.

Gases from the battery may corrode and damage the charger.

3. DO NOT let battery acid drip on the charger when reading a hydrometer for

specific gravity or when you fill the battery.

4. DO NOT use the charger in an enclosed space with reduced airflow.

5. During charging, if the temperature of the battery exceeds 40°C, the charging

current will be reduced. If the temperature exceeds 45°C, the charger will stop.

Charging will not recommence until the battery temperature reduces to safe limits.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

1. If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge, always remove

the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories in the

vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being

charged.

3. Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in to

contact with eyes.

4. Add distilled water to each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the

battery manufacturer. DO NOT overfill. For a battery without removable cells

caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow the

manufacturers recharging instructions.

5. Study all battery manufacturers specific precautions while charging and

recommended rates of charge.

6. Determine voltage of battery by referring to the vehicles manual and make sure

the output voltage mode is correct.
