  • Page 2 WARNINGS • Explosive gases may escape from the battery during charging. Prevent flames and sparks and provide adequate ventilation • Before charging, read the instructions • FOR CHARGING 12 VOLT LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE BATTERIES ONLY • Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries •...
  • Page 3 POWER SUPPLY (CONSTANT VOLTAGE OF 13.8 VOLTS) This sets the charge 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. Power supply mode can also be used to reactivate a lithium iron phosphate battery which is on internal low voltage disconnect mode.
  • Page 4: Protective Features

    PROTECTIVE FEATURES Spark-Free Protection The IDC25L will not start charging the battery (no output) unless the load is securely connected. It prevents the output leads from sparking due to accidental short circuit making the charger safer to use around batteries. Reverse Connection Protection Reverse connection on input and output terminals does not damage IDC25L internal circuit.

    INSTALLATION MOUNTING The rugged design of the IDC25L affords it to be mounted wherever best suits the application. By using advanced potting technology the unit is resistant to shock, vibration, dust and water allows for under-bonnet or in-vehicle installation. Clever `side extrusions’...
  • Page 8: Selection Of Operating Mode

    If your vehicle has smart (variable voltage) alternator installed, the Ignition Override cable must be connected to the vehicle’s ignition. The IDC25L will only operate when the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. However, if solar panels are connected to IDC25L, the IDC25L will operate and only draw power from solar panels (assuming vehicle’s ignition is turned off).
