Temperature & Safety Protection; Battery Types & Capacity - Century CC1206 Owner's Manual

TEMPERATURE & SAFETY PROTECTION:
• INTERNAL OVERHEAT PROTECTION: The charger has a built-in overheat and an overload
electronic circuit. This protects the charger from being damaged if overheated or overloaded
and will automatically decrease the charging current. Once the units internal temperature
decreases to a safe level, the charger will resume normal charging.
• SAFETY TIMER PROTECTION: The charger has safety timers for every stage. If the battery
voltage doesn't reach a certain voltage within a certain time, the unit will stop charging as it
is highly likely that you are attempting to charge a severely discharged or heavily sulphated
battery. If any of the stages times out, the charger will immediately stop charging in order to
protect the battery. This will be indicated with the fault LED flashing slowly.
• REVERSE POLARITY: The charger has reverse polarity protection. If the charger output leads
are connected reverse polarity, the fault LED will come on and the charger will be disabled.
Simply unplug the charger from AC power and then connect the output leads to the correct
polarity.
• SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: The charger will automatically turn off if the output leads are
short circuited and the fault LED will come on. This prevents the charger from being damaged
if the positive and negative crocodile clips or the optional ring terminals accidently touch each
other while the charger is turned on.
• ECO MODE: This Century battery charger has a built in ultra low power consumption circuit.
If AC power is connected and the battery is disconnected, after 10 seconds the charger will
automatically go into an ECO mode. During this mode the power drawn is less than 0.36W
which totals 0.01kWh per day power consumption. If AC power is connected and the battery
is connected, once the battery is fully charged and during the long term maintenance stage,
the total power consumption is around 0.03kWh per day.
Both the selected Charge rate and Battery type LEDs will flash GREEN to indicate ECO mode.
BATTERY TYPES & CAPACITY:
• Suits 12V conventional lead acid batteries: All SMF [Calcium], AGM/Flooded & Gel.
The Ah (Ampere Hours) capacities shown below are to be used as a general guide only. Some
batteries may be able to handle a higher charge current. Refer to the battery manufacturers
specifications and recommendations for your charging requirements.
Charge Rate:
Charging 3 - 20Ah
Maintaining < 100Ah
These figures are based on 5 to 30% of battery Ah
rating. For optimum charging, 10% of battery Ah
rating is recommended for flooded batteries and
20% of battery Ah rating is recommended for AGM
& Gel batteries.
