4.4.2.
When the battery terminal voltage reaches 14.4 volts for 12V batteries or 28.8 volts for 24V batteries stop the charging process.
4.5.
MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to simultaneously charge different types of batteries or batteries with different capacities or levels of
charge.
4.5.1.
A number of batteries may be charged at the same time. To do so we recommend parallel connection as shown in fig.3.
4.5.2.
Two 12 volt batteries may be charged simultaneously in series using a 24 volt output charger as shown in fig.4. This is only
recommended if both batteries are of similar capacity and in a similar state of discharge.
Charging in Parallel
5. STARTING
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to start engine with starter/charger if the battery is disconnected from the vehicle. The presence of the
battery is essential for the elimination of possible over-voltage that may be generated due to energy accumulating in the connection
cables at the starting stage.
5.5.1.
Check the vehicle manufacturer's handbook and follow any special instructions. Check that the battery is in good condition.
5.5.2.
Ensure the starter/charger is disconnected from the mains power supply and for models with dual voltage output set the output voltage
to the same as the vehicle battery i.e. either 12V or 24V.
5.5.3.
Check the charger clamps and battery terminals to ensure they are clean and free from oxidation.
5.5.4.
Without removing the cables that connect the battery to the vehicle connect the charger POSITIVE (red) lead to the POSITIVE (+)
terminal on the battery and the NEGATIVE (black) lead to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal on the battery.
5.5.5.
Starting will be enhanced if the battery is given a short charge prior to turning the ignition switch. This must always be done with the
selector switch (fig.1) set to the charge position and NOT to Boost. Plug starter/charger into mains power, select a low rate of charge
and turn on. Allow the battery to charge for 2-3 minutes.
5.5.6.
Move the starter/charger switch to the START position (fig.1). Turn the vehicle ignition on and crank the engine for a MAXIMUM of 3
seconds. If the vehicle does not start, wait for 2 minutes and repeat for a MAXIMUM of 5 cycles then allow 30 minutes rest.
WARNING! If the vehicle will not start DO NOT continue as the vehicle battery and electrical circuits may be damaged and the fuse in
the charger will fail. Disconnect the charger and investigate the vehicle for faults.
5.5.7.
When the vehicle is running switch off the starter/charger, unplug from the mains power and disconnect power terminals from battery.
6. SAFETY FUSE
6.1.
The charger is equipped with a fuse which will protect the unit in the following circumstances:
a) Overload: Too high a current to the battery.
b) Short circuit: Clamps touch, or cross-connection to battery.
c) Prolonged starting attempts.
6.2.
If the fuse blows take the following action:
6.3.
Turn the unit off and disconnect from the mains power supply.
6.4.
Allow the unit to cool down, establish the reason for failure and correct the situation.
6.5.
Replace the fuse (under the fuse cover on the control panel). Using only Sealey replacement parts. Refer to Specification (section 3)
for details.
WARNING! DO NOT use a fuse with a copper bridge or similar as this will damage the equipment.
