Desulphation The Desulphation stage may break down sulphation that occurs in batteries that have been left flat for extended periods of time, returning them back to full charge. sulphation occurs when lead-sulphate hardens and clogs up the battery cells. Soft Start A preliminary charge processes that gently introduces power to the battery. -
Page 4: Battery Test
Battery Test An automatic battery test is conducted immediately after the absorption stage. The test monitors the voltage for 90 seconds to determine if the charge was successful. ◆12V charger If the voltage is below 13.2 volts (fail), the charger will initiate the Recondition stage. -

3. SWITCHMODE TECHNOLOGY Using the latest technology in battery chargers, switch mode chargers convert 110V/220-240V AC power to 12V/24V DC power using electronic components unlike traditional battery chargers that rely on heavy transformers. This allows the charger to be light weight and compact without sacrificing on performance. 4. -

Page 11: Charging Instructions
10. CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL Prior to charging the battery, remove the vent caps and check the electrolyte level (not required on sealed & maintenance free batteries). The electrolyte should be 6mm (1/4") above the battery's plates. If low, top up with distilled water to the correct level and refit the vent caps. - Page 12 11. Negatively earthed (most vehicles) Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery terminal. Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the vehicle's chassis away from the fuel line or moving parts BLACK Connection in vehicle (negatively earthed)
- Page 13 13. CHASSIS EARTHING The chassis earthing lug 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 lug to the chassis of the vehicle. In a boat, connect to the boat's grounding systems.

Page 14: Mounting Instructions
14. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 7-stage chargers are designed for indoor, out of weather use only. Ensure that both charger and battery are in a well-ventilated space during charging. The battery charger end plates include a mounting flange for easy mounting. If permanently fixed the charger should be mounted to a suitable horizontal or vertical panel, with at least 10cm clearance from the end plates to provide adequate ventilation for the cooling fan. -
Page 15: Inline Fuse
Connection: 1. Cut off the supplied battery clips; ensure you leave sufficient cable to reach the battery terminals. (DO NOT extend the battery charger DC cables, as the added voltage drop will cause incorrect charging). 2. Fit a ring terminal to the BLACK Negative (-) wire. 3. - Page 16 16.
