IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Please read this manual thoroughly before use and store in a safe place for future reference. WARNING • Explosive gases may escape from the battery during charging. Prevent flames and sparks. Provide adequate ventilation. • Before charging, read the instructions. •...
5 STAGE AUTOMATIC CHARGING This is a fully automatic battery charger with 5 charge stages. Automatic charging protects your battery from being overcharged so you can leave the charger connected to the battery indefinitely. 5 stage charging is a very comprehensive and accurate charging technique that gives your battery longer life and better performance compared to using traditional chargers.
FLOAT The Float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or damaging the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely. POWER SUPPLY (CONSTANT VOLTAGE OF 13.8 VOLTS) This sets the charger in power supply mode giving a constant voltage of 13.8VDC. This mode is best used where appliances are drawing power from the battery, for example a Fridge.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS MOUNTING BATTERY CHARGER Intelli-Charge 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.
MOUNTING REMOTE CONTROL FLUSH MOUNT • Cut a 93mm x 70mm hole into the desired mounting surface to suit the supplied mounting plate. • Position the mounting plate into the hole with the side labelled ‘FLUSH MOUNT’ facing outwards and screw the supplied screws into the mounting surface as per the below illustration.

STEP 1B – BATTERY IN VEHICLE Determine if the vehicle is Positively (+) or Negatively (-) earthed. Negatively earthed vehicles have a cable (usually black) from the Negative battery terminal to the vehicle’s chassis. 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.

It is possible to hardwire the DC charging leads to the battery for permanent installations. The DC leads are pre-wired with cable lugs to make this process easier. It is recommended to fit a circuit breaker or inline fuse with the following ratings. (See below) IC2500L = 30 Amp IC5000L = 100 Amp Connection: 1.
STEP 2 – REMOTE CONTROL OPTIONAL & TEMPERATURE SENSOR Connect the temperature sensor prior to turning on the charger this is required for lithium charging to maximize life and performance of the battery. If you require the remote control this is optional and must be fitted prior to turning on the power. To install the remote control, insert the data plug into the data socket at the rear of the battery charger.
STEP 5 – CHARGE MODE Press the CHARGE button. STEP 6 – CHARGING During normal charging the LCD screen will default to the VOLTS display; to view input current press the VOLTS/AMPS button. The LED indicators will also illuminate and flash various signals, indicating the different stages of charging.
