Page 2: Important Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Please read this manual thoroughly before use and store in a safe place for future reference. WARNING • Explosive gases may escape from the battery during charging. Prevent flames and sparks. Provide adequate ventilation. • Before charging, read the instructions. •... - Page 3 7-STAGE AUTOMATIC CHARGING (GEL, AGM, WET & Calcium) Intelli-Charge incorporates the latest technology to deliver a 7-stage charge suitable for automotive, calcium, marine and all types of deep cycle batteries (Gel and AGM). These stages of charging ensure maximum battery life and performance are delivered with a faster charging time and ensure a complete charge is achieved.
- Page 4 RECONDITION If after charging, the battery is unable to hold the charge the battery reconditioning function is initiated automatically. This is most likely to take place on batteries that have been deeply discharged, prior to charging. The Recondition mode will then run for 4 hours and at the end will retest the battery.

Page 5: Battery Chemistry Selection
BATTERY CHEMISTRY SELECTION The Multi-Chem function allows you to set the charging profile to suit each battery’s chemistry type (Lithium, GEL, AGM, WET and Calcium). This ensures correct and thorough charging and maximises battery performance and battery life. The following section describes the charge profiles for each chemistry type. -
Page 6: Mounting Instructions
FEATURES ADJUSTABLE CHARGE RATE The charger’s output can be adjusted to suit the size of the battery for optimum charging. REMOTE CONTROL DISPLAY* Control and monitor the charger’s performance from a remote control display, allowing the charger to be flush or surface mounted out of the way and out of sight. The battery charger and remote are synchronised for operation either locally or by remote. -

Page 11: Charging Instructions
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 – CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL Prior to charging the battery, remove the vent caps and check the electrolyte level (not required on sealed & maintenance free batteries). The electrolyte should be 6mm (1/4”) above the battery’s plates. If low, top up with distilled water to the correct level and refit the vent caps. - Page 12 STEP 2B – BATTERY IN VEHICLE Determine if the vehicle is Positively (+) or Negatively (-) earthed. Negatively earthed vehicles have a cable (usually black) from the Negative battery terminal to the vehicle’s chassis. Negatively earthed (most vehicles) Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery terminal. Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the vehicle’s chassis away from the fuel line or moving parts.
- Page 13 STEP 2C – PERMANENT HARD WIRING It is possible to hardwire the DC charging leads to the battery for permanent installations. The DC leads are pre-wired with cable lugs to make this process easier. It is recommended to fit a circuit breaker or inline fuse with the following ratings. (See below) IC25, IC25W, IC25RV = 30 Amp IC35 = 50 Amp IC50 = 100 Amp...
- Page 14 STEP 3 – REMOTE CONTROL* & TEMPERATURE SENSOR* (OPTIONAL) If you require the temperature sensor and remote control, install before connecting the charger to 240V mains power. These accessories are optional; the charger will operate normally with or without accessories being fitted. To install the remote control, insert the data plug into the data socket at the rear of the battery charger.

Page 21: Frequently Asked Questions
This can occur if a small amount of power is used for a long time, for example a map reading light is left on for a week or more. Projecta Intelli-Charge are designed to charge from as little as 1.0V (12V) or 2.0V (24V). - Page 22 Q. What if I have an appliance connected to the battery whilst charging? A. Powering an appliance while charging your battery will impact on the battery chargers ability to accurately measure the battery’s response to the charge being applied. The battery charger has been designed to accommodate this situation although not recommended.
