F Only tested batteries must be
connected in parallel for char-
ging.
F Do not charge maintenance-
free batteries together with
standard batteries.
F Only charge maintenance–
free batteries after establis-
hing that the battery requires
charging, either by means of a
battery test (e.g. with a Bosch
battery tester) or a start at-
tempt (starter
cranks the engine).
F Maintenance–free
may only be charged in con-
junction with the appropriate
monitoring (e.g. voltmeter).
F The maximum charging time
for maintenance–free batte-
ries is 6 hours for capacities
up to 100 Ah and 12 hours for
capacities over 100 Ah.
F Batteries which are not suita-
ble for charging must not be
charged!
F The battery must be discon-
nected from the vehicle elec-

of damaging electronic equip-
ment!
F The rated battery voltage and
selected charging
must agree.
F The mains connection cable
and the charging leads must
be in perfect condition.
F The charger must only be
connected to a mains power
supply where the mains vol-
tage agrees with the voltage
the
rating on the rating plate.
F Please connect the unit only

Maintenance–free batteries, stan-
dard batteries and exhausted batte-
ries can be charged with the power-
ful rapid start charger WL 200 S.
The charger is designed for rapid
charging and for use as a starting
aid.
The charging current can be adju-
sted in 4 stages.
The unit ist protected by a safety cut-
out against the terminals being
reversed, against short-circuiting of
the terminals and overcurrent.
If there is continuous overloading
the thermostatic switch in the trans-
former switches the charger off.
After a cooling–down period of 15 ...
30 minutes the thermostatic switch
automatically switches on again
Off
