2 Charging of a 12 V battery (lead acid battery, AGM battery and GEL battery) with 4A charging current.
3 Charging of a 12 V battery (lead acid battery, AGM battery and GEL battery) in winter mode with 4A charging current and an ambient temperature
of – 20°C to +5°C.
Danger! Do not charge any frozen batteries.
4 Charging of a 6V battery (lead acid battery, AGM battery and GEL battery) with 2A charging current.
5 Defective battery
6 Clamps are wrongly connected (reverse polarity) or there is a short-circut
7 Battery voltage display in volts
8 Charge status of the battery in percent (1 increment = 25%) and charging procedure (increment in the battery symbol fl ashes = battery charging in pro-
gress; all increments are lit = battery is fully charged).
Charging settings for BBC2500
Press the Mode button (Fig. B/Item 1) to set the charging functions 12 V/2 A (Fig. B/Item 5) and 12V/2A Winter Mode (Fig. B/Item 6).
Charging settings for BBC4000
Press the Mode button (Fig. B/Item 1) to set the charging functions 12V/2A (Fig. B/Item 1), 12V/4A (Fig. B/Item 2) and 12V/4A Winter Mode (Fig. B/Item 3)

Charging the battery:

• Release or remove the battery stoppers (if fitted) from the battery.
• Check the acid level in the battery. If necessary, top up the battery with distilled water (if possible). Important: Battery acid is aggressive. Rinse off any acid
splashes thoroughly with lots of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
• First connect the red charging cable to the positive pole of the battery.
• Then connect the black charging cable to the bodywork of the vehicle away from the battery and the petrol pipe.
• Warning! Under normal circumstances the negative battery pole is connected to the bodywork and you proceed. In exceptional cases it is possible that the
positive battery pole is connected to the bodywork (positive earthing). In this case connect the black charging cable to the negative pole on the battery. Then
connect the red charging cable at a point away from the battery and the petrol pipe.
• After the battery has been connected to the charger, you can connect the charger to a socket supplying 240 V ~ 50 Hz (for BBC2500) and 230 V ~ 50 Hz (for
BBC4000). The equipment automatically recognizes the rated voltage (6V or 12V) of the connected battery. Do not connect it to a socket that supplies any other
mains voltage. Depending on the rated voltage: LED Fig. B/Item 5 will light up for 12V or LED Fig. B/Item 7 will light up for 6V. LEDs Fig. B/Item 1-4 will blink in
succession until the battery is fully charged (provided it is not defective). When the battery is fully charged, the LEDs A-D will be lit continuously.
Important! Charging may create dangerous explosive gas and therefore you should avoid spark formation and naked flames whilst the battery is charging. There
is a risk of explosion!
• If the battery terminals are connected in reverse,the protection against swapped poles ensures that the battery and the charger do not get damaged. If this
is the case, remove the charger from the battery and from the socket outlet. Start charging again after waiting for approx. 3 minutes. Calculating the charging
time (Fig. C) The charging time depends on the charge status of the battery. If the battery is fully discharged, the approximate charging time up to approx. 80%
charged can be calculated using the following formula:
Battery capacity in Ah
Charging time/h =
Amp. (charging current)
