- Page 4 Desulphation The Desulphation stage is designed to break down sulphation that occurs in batteries that have been left discharged for extended periods of time, this process assists in revitalizing the battery. Sulphation occurs when lead-sulphate hardens and clogs up the battery cells. Soft Start A preliminary charge process that reduces the initial current into the battery.
- Page 5 PROTECTIVE FEATURES POLARITY PROTECTION Prevents the output leads from sparking due to accidental reverse connection or short circuit, making the charger safer to use around batteries. OUTPUT SHORT PROTECTION Short circuit connection of the clips: Check clips are not touching each other OR Check the clips are correctly connected to the battery.

- Page 12 CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS Settings are made by pressing the MODE-button (Press/Hold). After about two seconds the charger activates the selected program. The selected program will automatically default to the AGM Mode next time the charger is connected STEP 1 – CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL Please ensure to check the electrolyte level prior to charging the battery by removing the vent caps (not required on sealed &...
- Page 13 NEGATIVE EARTHED CONNECTION (Most Vehicles) Connect the RED Output Lead (Battery Clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) Battery Terminal and ensure a good connection is made. Connect the BLACK Output Lead (Battery Clip) from the charger to a clean conductor point on the vehicle's chassis away from any fuel lines or moving parts.
- Page 14 CHASSIS EARTHING (Not Essential) The chassis earthing terminal should be connected to an earting point which will be depending on where the battery charger is installed. In a vehicle, connect the chassis ground terminal to the chassis of the vehicle. In a boat, connect to the boat's grounding systems.
- Page 15 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS This 8-stage charger is designed for indoor use only and not outdoor conditions (rain and moisture). Ensure that both the charger and battery are in a well- ventilated area during charging. If permanently fixed, the charger should be mounted to a suitable vertical or horizontal panel, with at least 10cm clearance from the end plates to provide adequate ventilation for the cooling fan.
- Page 16 PERMANENT WIRING TO BATTERY If required, It is possible to hard wire the DC charging Output Leads to the battery for permanent installations. You will need an Adaptor Lead with Ring Terminals, Fuse, Fuse Holder and a suitable Plug to attach to the current Charger Plug. Alternatively, if you would like to install this yourself please follow the steps below: 1.
