CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER To connect the charger and begin charging your battery, please follow these steps. Step 1: Prepare your charger - position the charger so the cables can reach the battery you intend to charge, and make sure you have ready access to AC power to plug the charger in. - Page 9 Step 3 Select the appropriate charge mode using the 'Mode' button, ensuring the mode is correct for the battery type to be charged. AGM: AGM Battery MODE STD: Lithium Battery STD & GEL Battery including LiFePO4 Battery Step 4 Adhere to the recommended charge rate based on the battery's specifications.
- Page 10 Step 6 If the battery needs to be disconnected, switch off the power supply at the wall and unplug the charger, then disconnect the alligator clamps or the Anderson connection. This will prevent any dangerous sparks. NOTE: Do not disconnect the alligator clamps from the battery while the charger is connected to mains power, as this may cause sparks.

Page 17: Lithium Activation Mode
LITHIUM ACTIVATION MODE All lithium batteries have an integrated Battery Management System (BMS) to protect them from unsafe operating conditions. One of these conditions is Under Voltage Protection, which occurs when the batteries are depleted below a certain voltage. When a battery pack enters this Under Voltage Protection mode, the BMS does not allow the battery to discharge any further to stop the cells from being damaged. -
Page 18: Charging Profile
CHARGING PROFILE This charger is controlled by a microprocessor with 9 separate stages of charging batteries. The microprocessor senses the condition of the battery and delivers the right current and voltage. This will optimize the charging process and protect the batteries. Stage 1: Battery Diagnostics and Pre-charge Checks the battery voltage to make sure the connections are working, and that the battery is in a stable condition before starting to charge. - Page 19 Only for STD/AGM batteries. Note: The KickAss Flex Charger range implements an intelligent voltage monitoring system to determine the point at which the charger transitions from Float back to bulk. This ensures the battery SOC is always maintained in an optimal state, regardless of whether the battery is being actively discharged or in a standby / low discharge state.has context menu...
