Safety instructions Always provide proper ventilation during charging. • Avoid covering the charger. • Never try to charge non-rechargeable or frozen batteries. • Never place the charger on top of the battery when • charging. Prevent sparks close to the battery. A battery being charged •...
1. Quick user guide A. Connect the charger to the battery or batteries (see figure 1). B. Connect the charger to the wall socket. The BULK LED will indicate that the mains cable is connected to the wall socket. C. If required, press the MODE-button to select another charging algorithm (the charger remembers the mode when disconnected from the mains and/or the battery).
2. ‘Must know’ features and facts 2.1 Blue Smart version only Set-up, monitor and update the charger (add new features when they become available) using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices. 2.2 Ultra high efficiency ‘green’ battery charger With up to 95% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard.
Adaptive Battery Management limits corrosion by reducing absorption time when possible, that is: when charging a battery that is already (nearly) fully charged. 2.6 Storage mode: less corrosion of the positive plates Even the lower float charge voltage that follows the absorption period will cause grid corrosion.

Seven step charge sequence for lead-acid batteries: BULK Charges the battery with maximum current until absorption voltage is reached. The battery will then be about 80% charged and is ready for use. ABS - Absorption Charges the battery at constant voltage and with decreasing current until it is fully charged.
FLOAT Keeps the battery at constant voltage and fully charged. STORAGE Keeps the battery at reduced constant voltage to limit gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. READY (battery fully charged) The battery is fully charged when the FLOAT or STORAGE LED is on.
3.5 Estimating charge time A lead-acid battery is about 80% charged at the beginning of the absorption period. The time T to 80% charged can be calculated as follows: T = Ah / I Where: I is the charge current (= charger output minus load current). Ah is the amount of Ah to be charged.
