Using 12V LITHIUM
This mode is designed for 12V lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries only. Some lithium-ion batteries may be unstable and unsuitable for charging. Consult the lithium
battery manufacturer before charging and ask for recommended charging voltage and current.
Using REPAIR (12V only)
This mode is for LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is an advanced battery recovery mode for repairing old, idle, stratified or sulfated batteries. NOT all batteries can
be recovered. For optimal results, take the battery through a full charge cycle, bringing the battery to full charge, before using this mode. One REPAIR cycle can
take up to eight (8) hours to complete the recovery process and will enter to standby when completed. This mode uses a high charging voltage and may cause
some water loss in WET cell batteries. Plus, some batteries and electronics may be sensitive to high charging voltages. To minimize risks, disconnect the battery
from the vehicle before using this mode.
Using 13,6 V SUPPLY
This mode converts the charger to a constant voltage, constant current DC power supply. It can be used to power 12 V DC devices. Prior to use, read your 12 V
DC device manual to determine if it is suitable for use with this mode. As a power supply, it can also be used to retain a vehicle's on-board computer settings
during battery repair or replacement. 13,6 V Supply Mode provides 13,6 V at 10A (Max). Both spark proof and reverse polarity protection are disabled in this
mode. Do NOT allow the positive and negative battery clamp to touch or connect to each other as the charger could generate sparks.
Using 12V BOOST
BOOST mode is the advanced mode that requires your full attention before selecting. To operate BOOST, the charger must be connected to a 12V lead-acid
battery with the battery clamps connected. For optimal results, allow boost to complete its 5-minute charge. After 300-second boost, digital tube will show
"COOLING", and you are ready to start your vehicle (whether the battery level bar is 100% or not). After each boost, the charger has mandatory 5-minute rest
for safety reason (even you press the boost button again, the charger will not work). After cooling, charger will enter to standby. If unsuccessful when starting
your vehicle, let the battery rest for 15 minutes and try boost again. Most vehicles will start with one (1) boost. Do not use boost more than two (2) times within
a 24-hour period. If two (2) boosts cannot successfully start your vehicle, have your battery replaced or evaluated by a local battery store.
Using 12 ALTERNATOR CHECK (press ALT-CHECK in standby)
Alternator % (12 V only) – Before the charger is connected with the battery which is well settled in the vehicle and ALTN CHECK button is pressed, start the ve-
hicle and turn on the vehicle's headlights. The digital display shows an estimated output percentage of the vehicle's charging system connected to the charger's
battery clamps, compared to a properly functioning system. The alternator percent range is from 0% to 100%, and LCD will show "OUTPUT GOOD". Readings
below 0% (13,2 volts) will be regarded as LOW (LCD show "OUTPUT LOW") and readings above 100% (14,6 volts) will be regarded as HIGH (LCD show "OUTPUT
LOW"). If you get a LOW or HIGH reading, have the electrical system checked by a qualified technician.
Using 12 BATTERY HEALTH CHECK
This mode is the advanced mode that takes a close look at the health of LEAD-ACID battery. Following parameters are what the charger checks to determine
battery health.
CCA (Cold Cranking Amperage): The starting current that the battery can provide to the engine at low temperature. More than 30% of the labeled value is
normal, and less than 30% of the labeled value requires replacement of batteries.
SOC (State of Charge): The ratio of the remaining capacity of the battery after a period of time or long-term shelf to the capacity of its fully charged state, com-
monly expressed as a percentage. When SOC = 0, the battery discharges completely, and when SOC = 100%, the battery is fully charged.
SOH (State of Health): The ratio of performance parameters after a period of service to nominal parameters of batteries. SOH of new battery is 100% and reject
battery is 0%.
Internal Resistance: The larger the internal resistance, the worse the capacity of the battery to absorb electricity.
How to operate: Press CCA TEST button will enter CCA RATE SET, you can press "+" and "-"button to set CCA rate and default value is 500. When CCA rate has
been set, press CCA button again, and LCD will display the actual CCA, SOH, SOC, and internal resistance. If SOC is less than 15% which means the battery power
is very low, the CCA detection value may be incorrect, LCD will display "RETRY AFTER CHARGE", please try to charge the battery and try the BATTERY HEALTH
CHECK mode again.
