OPERATION

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
Suitable for 12V Normal Lead Acid, Sealed, AGM or Gel Batteries between 10-150Ah
1. Preparing the battery
Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free of dirt so a good connection can be made.
WET / Flooded Lead Acid Batteries
Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient in each cell. If it is below
the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled water.
Note: Under no circumstances should tap water be used. The cell caps should not be replaced until charging is
complete. This allows any gases formed during charging to escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of
acid will occur during charging.
AGM / Sealed Batteries
As AGM batteries are fully sealed there is no need to check fluid levels, just ensure the battery connections are
clean and the battery is in a suitable condition for charging.
