THE SMART BATTERY CHARGER The SBC1205 & SBC24025 are “set and forget” four stage chargers that automatically bring and maintain 100% charge to Lead Acid and Calcium content batteries. Being Smart Battery Chargers, they are controlled by a microprocessor, which is constantly checking the charging process. A battery will last longer and charge faster when charged using the Four Stage process.

OPERATION 2.4.1 Charging indicator (Orange) This indicator is used during the fi rst three stages of charging (Boost, Absorption and Equalise), and fl ashes at different rates to indicate the charging mode. Boost Mode: Orange indicator ON-single fl ash. This mode delivers the bulk charge to the battery by delivering maximum constant current.
Red fl ashing LED. Possible faults are; Continuously on - Hardware failure detected: The SBC1205 failed its self-test on power up. The unit should be returned to the supplier for inspection. One Flash - Over current detected: An excessive current will cause this fault.
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION • Ensure the correct battery type has been selected before charging begins. • Before connecting or disconnecting the SBC to a battery, ensure that it is disconnected from the 240VAC supply. • NOTE disconnecting the battery from the vehicle will cause some components in the vehicle to lose stored memory or information, such as time on your stereo.
OTHER INFO Charging Time & Battery Capacity The charging time is dependant on a number of conditions including the ambient temperature and the general condition or age of the battery. However it is primarily dependant on how many Amp-Hours need to be put back into the battery to restore full charge, rather than the battery capacity itself.
