General remarks
The charger is fitted with the following protection devices for safe handling:
-
-
-
Utilisation in
accordance with
„intended purpo-
se"
Important! Do not use this device to charge non-rechargeable batteries (dry batteries,
primary cells, etc.).
Service charging For use whena battery fault is suspected (e.g. sulphation)
modes -
-
Service charging - batteries
with liquid electrolyte
Important! The success of service charging depends on the degree of sulphation of the
battery.
WARNING! Risk of injury and damage from exposed, rotating vehicle parts.
When working in the vehicle's engine compartment, take care that hands, hair,
items of clothing and charger leads do not come into contact with moving parts,
e.g. fan belt, fan, etc.
CAUTION! Setting the mode incorrectly can result in product damage and poor
charging performance. Always set the mode according to the type of battery to
be charged.
De-energised charging terminals ... no sparks when clamping onto battery
Protection against short-circuiting of charging terminals/polarity reversal
Protection against thermal overload of the charger
battery is charged to maximum acid concentration
plates are reactivated (degradation of sulphate layer)
CAUTION! Danger of damage to the in-car electronics by service charging
voltage. Before beginning service charging, disconnect battery from vehicle
power supply.
NOTE! Service charging may only be used for
- Wet batteries that can be topped up with water
- Gel batteries
„Wet" mode:
For charging liquid (Pb, Ca, Ca silver) or fixed (GEL, AGM,
MF, sealant) electrolyte batteries that are used in starter or
traction applications.
„Gel" mode:
For charging liquid (Pb, Ca, Ca silver) or fixed (GEL, AGM,
MF, sealant) electrolyte batteries that are used in standby
applications (e.g. emergency power systems) or at tempe-
ratures above 35°C.
Service charging - batteries
with gel-type electrolyte
