battery types. When quick charging, ONLY charge suitable 'Quick Charge' Ni-Cad or
Ni-MH battery packs. DO NOT charge other types of pack.

surface.
• Always ensure the charger and battery pack have adequate ventilation around them.

CONNECTIONS
The Ripmax Pro-Peak 2500 VP G2 charger has two types of Power Input. Mains AC 220-
240V (50/60Hz) or 12V DC via an alternative power source, such as a battery or 12V output
power supply. These two power inputs allow charging at home or at the place of operation.
Under no circumstances should the two Power Inputs be connected at the same time.
The charger is designed for individual Power Input operation.
MAINS AC 220-240AV CONNECTIONS
• Connect the mains lead to a wall socket.
• Turn 'ON' the mains wall socket and the 'RED' LED will flash every 2 seconds to indicate
power to the charger, and the charger is ready for use. Turn 'OFF'.
• If the 'RED' LED does not flash, this indicates that no power is reaching the charger. Check
the fuse in the mains lead plug. Spare fuses can be purchased from most electrical shops.
Only use a fuse with the correct rating, 250V 3A, otherwise damage may occur to the
charger. This will not be covered under warranty.
• Using the two Crocodile Clips on the end of the fixed lead exiting at the rear of the charger,
connect the 'RED' clip to the Positive (+) connection of the power source (i.e. battery etc.)
and the 'Black' clip to the Negative (-) connection.
