XL - pro English Keepower XL- Pro12V/24V battery charger Safety instructions BATTERY CHARGER FOR 12V/24V LEAD ACID BATTERIES Before charging, read this quick guide instruction. Protect charger from moisture and keep dry. Risk of explosion! Avoid fire, open flame and sparks. Turn off the charger before attaching and removing the charging clamps. 230V ~ • the battery terminal not connected to the chassis has to be connected first. The other connection is to be made to the chassis, remote from the battery and fuel line. The battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains; • after charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and then the battery connection. • Battery acid is highly corrosive. Acid on the clothes should be rinsed off immedi- ately in running water. Acid on the skin or in the eyes, rinse thoroughly in running water and contact a doctor. • A battery produces explosive gases during charging and good ventilation should therefore be ensured if charging takes place indoors. • The charger have to be placed upright on a solid surface or hanged on the wall with the possibility for good ventilation. -

Connect the clamps (Red to + and Black to -) to the battery first to let the Battery tester determine the charging state of the battery and display it to you. For reliable reading, the battery should be at room temperature (20 ºC), and it must have been resting for at least 4 hours (no charging has taken place either in the vehicle or using the keepower Intelligent Battery Care charger). If charging has taken place within the last 4 hours, a higher reading will be the result. Testing of the battery will always take place before charging, enabling the keepower Intelligent Battery Care system to give the optimum charge to the battery.

Full: There is no reason to charge. However a small top-up charge can normally be added. Medium: The battery can be charged with in the normal charging mode. Low: The battery can be charged with in the normal charging mode. Discharged battery: If you need to use the battery fast the intel- ligent Boost mode can be used. Otherwise softcharge is activated automatically when charging starts (recommended). Deep Discharged: If battery symbol is flashing Immediate charg- ing is needed. Charging will start with Softcharge. Intelligent Boostcharge can be selected for fast charging. Use of Softcharge is recommended.
- Page 8 XL - pro Selection button Red clips to + Black clips to - How do I charge and select different charging modes The different charging modes are selected in the menu. Normal charging is used on normal batteries (Wet, open type), maintenance-free, GEL, AGM and sealed battery with a gas limit at 14.0V or 14.4V in Bulk charging, and 14.4V or 14.8V in After- charge. (battery type is selected for determining the gas limet). In the display the current voltage on t he battery is showed together with the charging current Boost mode is used when trying to repair deep discharged batteries, and is further described under "The intelligent charging curve". In the display the current voltage on the battery is showed together with the charging current Supply Mode is used as a power supply when e.g. the car is in a showroom and the cars facilities is used without the motor running. In case of overload, a warning is giving in the display. If heavy overload, the charger switches off to protect it self.

- Page 10 XL - pro Testing Soft charge Desulphation Bulk charge Absorption After charge Testing Maintenance Maintenance The intelligent charging curve Soft charge (Indication on screen ) The “Soft charge” phase is used when the battery is deep discharged. The battery is charged until it is ready to receive normal charging (11.6V) and then the normal charging is started. Desulphation (Indication on screen ) The “Desulphation” phase is used if the battery has not been used for a longer period. Bulk charging (Indication on screen ) The “Bulk charging” phase is the phase where the battery under a constant current is charged up to app. 85% of the full capacity. Absorption (Indication on screen ) The “Absorption” phase is the phase where the battery under a constant voltage is charged up to app. 98% of the full capacity.

Page 11: While Charging
XL - pro After charging (Indication on screen ) The “After charging” phase is the phase where the battery is charged up to app. 100% of the full capacity. The voltage is raised 0.4V compared to the Bulk charging phase. Testing (Indication on screen ) The “Testing” phase is the phase where the battery is tested for a defect battery cell. Maintenance (Indication on screen ) The purpose with “maintenance” phase is to keep the battery at 100% capacity over a long period of time. The charger is always measuring the voltage and when it goes below 12,6 / 25,2 V it will start charging the battery. Boost (Indication on screen ) The “Boost” phase is used to kick-start the battery if it has low power. This “Boost” is made as an intelligent boosting. This means that the charger is boosting the battery for ½ hour with maximum current and then a test is made of the battery to see if it is ready for normal charging. If the battery is not ready for normal charging, the charger will boost again. This process is repeated 4 times and if the battery is not Ok after that the charger will indicate a fault. While charging While charging the actual voltage, current and the selected battery type is shown in the display. It is also possible to see how many Ah has been charged to the battery (not the total Ah on the battery) This is done by pressing the down button. It is possible to stop the charging by pressing the Back or Select button. -
