OPERATION
! WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety and operational instructions
before connecting the charger power clamps to the battery. Only when you are sure that you
understand the procedures is it safe to proceed with the actual charging process.
Note: These units are designed to work on 12V batteries which have a voltage of between 9V and
14V. If the unit detects voltages outside of these limits it will automatically stop charging.
Once the battery voltage returns to within the limits, charging will automatically re-start.
Note: These units are fitted with a Thermal Cut-out which will switch the charger off if the battery
draws too large a current for too long a period of time or in the event of high ambient
temperature.
3.1.
Status indicators
Four LEDs on the charger front panel indicate status (Fig.1.).
Upper Red LED - Battery is being charged but the charging is not complete
Green LED - Battery is fully charged - disconnect charger from mains supply and then from battery.
Yellow LED - Battery voltage is below 9V or battery is damaged.
Lower Red LED - Clamps have been incorrectly connected to battery - disconnect charger from mains supply and reconnect red clamp to
positive battery terminal, black clamp to negative terminal.

Battery charging
! WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and follow all safety instructions in Section 1 before attempting to
use the AUTOCHARGE6.V3, AUTOCHARGE12.V3 or AUTOCHARGE18.V2.
! WARNING! It is advised before charging, to disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle to prevent damage to
sensitive onboard equipment. Remember to provide a back-up supply for onboard electronics and to retain any
security codes.
3.2.1. Establish the battery voltage ensuring that it is 12V.
3.2.2. If the battery is not a sealed unit, remove the filler caps and check the level of the electrolyte. If it is below the recommended
level, top up using distilled water. Do not use tap water under any circumstances. To prevent acid splashing during the
charging proccess, replace the filler caps but do not tighten them, allowing gases to escape.
3.2.3 If sealed unit, it is uneccassary to carry out the checks outlined in 3.2.2.
3.2.4. Connect power clamps to the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
3.2.5. Connect charger to mains power supply, switch on and ensure upper red LED is illuminated.
3.2.6. When upper green LED illuminates, indicating that battery is fully charged, disconnect charger from the mains supply and only
then remove clamps from the battery terminals.
3.2.7. Carefully wipe any spillage of acid from the battery top and replace battery caps, if removed.
3.2.8. FOR A VERY FLAT BATTERY, DISCONNECT CABLES FROM BATTERY TERMINALS AND ALLOW BATTERY TO REST FOR 30
MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE. REMEMBER TO PROVIDE A BACK-UP SUPPLY FOR THE VEHICLE WHEN DOING THIS
IN ORDER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO ON-BOARD ELECTRONICS. CHECK SEALEY MODEL VS207 FOR THIS FUNCTION.
