Operating Procedure
a. Before charging the battery installed in a vehicle, please turn off all the electrical equipment including lights and
other accessories connected to the vehicle.
b. Please identify the polarity of the battery: the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) pole.
c. Please inspect which battery pole is grounded (connected to the vehicle chassis). The negative pole is usually
(but not always) grounded.
d. For charging a battery installed in a vehicle, please connect the POSITIVE (RED) and NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip
of the charger to the POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) pole (or the vehicle chassis) of the battery respectively.
Please ensure the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip should not be located near the fuel-pipe, carburetor and fuel
tubess Sheet-metal parts should be free from any clip.
e. For charging the battery which is not installed in a vehicle, please connect the RED and BLACK clip to the
POSITIVE and NEGATIVE pole respectively.
f. After plugging the AC power cord of the charger into the AC outlet, all charge-indicating LEDs
scanned successively.
g. Press the mode button to select vehicle type. This sets the battery maximum charging current (refer to
specifications).
h. Select Snow mode for charging at 14.7 or 29.4V for AGM batteries, or where the ambient temperature is below
0º C.
i. If the charging LED continually blinks, the battery is being charged. When the charging LED is permanently on,
then the battery is fully charged.
j. If the fault indicator LED blinks, or is permanently on, then the battery will not accept a charge.
Selective Switches
This switch selects operating modes among standby, scooter / ATV, motorcycle, car / van, and
truck / RV.
Mode Switch
(Non LED)
This switch selects operating modes among Snow mode (14.7V or 29.4V ) and normal mode
(14.4V or 28.8V ).
Snow mode is proposed for AGM batteries or low temperatures.
Snow Switch
(Green LED)
Please follow the charging instructions of battery manufacturers.

Float
Desulphation Diagnosis Bulk
【EXPLANATION OF CHARGING STEPS】
1. Desulphation/Desulfurization:
Desulphation/Desulfurization revives the battery via a series of current pulses dissolving sulfur from the internal
battery poles to activate chemical reaction.
2. Diagnosis:
The charging current is set to a relatively low level while the microcontroller is diagnosing physical
conditions of the battery.
3. Bulk Charging:
This is a high current charge to minimise charge time.
4. Absorption:
In this stage, the battery voltage is returned to its normal fully charged level and the charging
current is gradually decaying to nil.
5. Supervision:
The microcontroller supervises the voltage decline of the fully charged battery from its normal level to its floating
level.
6. Float Charging:
The battery voltage is maintained at its floating level by the charger via supplying an intermittently minimal
charging current.
