CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations on purchasing your new CTEK professional 24 V DC/DC switch mode battery
charger, 12 V converter and battery equalizer. This charger is part of a range of professional bat-
tery chargers from CTEK SWEDEN AB. It represents the latest technology in battery charging with
charging and analysis in 4 steps with temperature compensation.
Read this User Manual and follow the instructions carefully before using your new charger.
SAFETY

T he charger is designed for 24 V lead-acid batteries mounted into vehicles.
Do not use the charger for any other purpose

U se safety glasses when connecting or disconnecting a battery.

B attery acid is corrosive. Rinse immediately with water if acid comes into contact with skin
or eyes. Seek medical advice.

M ake sure that the cables are not being pinched or in contact with warm surfaces
or sharp edges.

D250TS
The D250TS has one 24 V input and two alternating outputs. One output charge a 24 V
battery and the other provides 50 % of the input voltage to the midpoint of a 24 V system. This
enables connection of 12 V consumers to the battery string and also equalizing this battery
string, for longer battery life.
D250TS
FEATURES:

M ulti-step10 A temperature compensated battery charging and battery maintenance.
• Battery separation of Starter and Service batteries.
• Equalization of Service batteries
• Makes connection of 12 V consumers directly to 24 V Service battery possible.
• When the charger is correctly connected the charger will output 24 V on the status signal wire.
Connection of a 24 V lamp (max 2 W) to the status signal wire will indicate a correctly con-
nected charger.
• The charger will maintain the starter battery untill the supply is below 14V. To avoid draining the
service battery always connect a charger to the service battery when the vehicle is not used for
a longer period.

  • Page 4 The D250TS will charge the Starter battery in 4 steps. The last step, Pulse maintenance means that the D250TS monitors the Starter battery to see when a new charge pulse is needed. The D250TS use this monitoring time to equalize the Service battery by sending out a voltage of exactly 50 % of the input voltage.
