Intended Use This Battery charger is suitable for 12V Lead-acid Batteries, including GEL, AGM and STD. This Battery charger will quickly and easily charge the vehicle battery and keep the battery performing at its optimal while lasting longer. This Battery charger has an interactive LCD display showing charging rate, battery type, error message in words and icon.
Protection features Overheat Protection - If the charger is overheating, the charger will automatically shut off and will automatically resume when the charger has cooled down. Reverse Polarity - If the cables connected are reversely connected, the charger will not work, and LCD screen tells you to correct polarity. Overtime Charging Protection - If the battery cannot be fully charged within 24 hours, charger will stop charging automatically.
Do not use in wet conditions or near combustible materials. Keep away from flames, smoke or sparks while charging. Never smoke in the area of the battery or engine. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect to only properly grounded outlets. Use of an extension cord is not recommended and could result in fire. Do not operate if cords or wires are frayed or defective, or if charger base is defective in any way. Do not attempt to open the charger as this could result in electric shock.
WORK AREA SAFETY Make sure you have adequate space to use this charger. Position the charger as far away from the battery as permitted by DC Cable. Never place the charger directly above the battery that is being charged; as this may cause the charger to be damaged by gases expelled from the battery. Never set a battery or any other object on the charger. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin or clothing. If this happens, wash immediately with soap and water, then get medical attention. Take care not to drop any metal tool or object onto the battery. This may result in a spark or short circuit across the battery or another electrical device that may cause an explosion.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
NOTE: If using this battery charger/maintainer for a marine battery, the battery must be removed and charged on shore unless you have purchased special equipment designed for marine use to allow for onboard charging. Check the polarity of the battery posts. Note: The positive (+) post is usually larger in diameter than the negative (-) post. The length of the cord external to the battery charger and including the attachment plug shall not be less than 6 feet (1.

No. Subassembly 5 Reconditioning Button - press to activate the battery recondition function and press again to stop. 6 Start Aid Button - press to activate engine start function. LCD display window will guide how to proceed step by step and press again to stop Before Each Use SHIELD EYES: Explosive gases can cause eye injury or blindness. CONTAINS SULFURIC ACID: May cause severe burns. If it is necessary to remove the battery prior to charging, always remove the grounded terminal first.
When charging a lead-acid battery that is not sealed, it may be necessary to add distilled water into battery so the battery acid solution reaches the level as specified by manufacturer. Careful do not overfill the battery. Read individual precautions and warnings outlined by the battery manufacturer relative to charging / maintaining. Ensure that charger clips make a tight connection. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
25A - Can be used for large automobile battery or rapid charging. Note: If you want your battery to sustain a longer life, slow charges it. Slow charging will take longer but will charge your battery more thoroughly. If your battery needs to charge in a short amount of time, use the Rapid charge setting. BATTERY RECONDITIONING When your battery has been unused for long periods of time, the battery will be in a deep discharged state.
Battery Rating – A higher rated battery will take longer to charge than a lower rated battery under the same conditions. A battery is rated in ampere-hours (Ah), reserve capacity (RC) and cold-cranking amps (CCA). Charge Rate – The charge rate is measured in amps. A battery charged at a lower rate will take longer than a battery charged at a higher rate. However, smaller batteries can be easily damaged by charging at a rate which is too high for the capacity of the battery.
1. Desulphation: Pulse charges the battery to break down the buildup of lead sulphate crystals. Lead sulphate crystals can occur when a battery has been discharged or left unused for a period of time, seriously affecting the performance and lifetime of the battery. 2. Soft Start: A slow steady buildup of the charging process that limits the power supplied to protect the battery. 3. Bulk Charge: The main part of the charge process where 80% of the charge is applied. 4.
LCD DISPLAY CHARGING DISPLAY Please follow the charging steps to connect battery first, and then plug in to AC power. If the connection to the battery is loose, the LCD will display this icon. The clamp image will flash and the screen will show: "PLEASE PUT THE CLAMPS ON". When the connection is set, the LCD will display the battery voltage, battery capacity % and battery graphic.
Press the “BATTERY TYPE” button to select your battery type, if you are not sure, please choose “Standard”, and then press the “CHARGE” button to start charging. The LCD will display as shown. Note: If user does not select the charging Amp and battery type within 30 seconds, it will start charging the battery using the default setting (auto charging rate for STD battery).
CHARGING PROGRESS RECONDITION DISPLAY Press the "RECONDITION" button to activate the battery recondition function, the wrench image will flash and the screen will show: "BATTERY IN REPAIR NOW”.
When the repair is completed, the LCD will display as shown. START AID DISPLAY Press the “START AID” button to activate this function, please wait until the LCD screen tells you to start the engine. If the battery capacity is not enough to start engine within one 120 second cycle, please press the ”START AID” button again.

After each use, use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean battery corrosion and other dirt from the clips, cords and charger. Ensure that all components are in good working order. Never open the charger as there are no serviceable parts inside the unit. The charger should be stored in an upright position when not in use. Store in a cool, dry location.
Failure Wrong Battery Possible Cause Corrective Action The charger may connect to a 24V battery by mistake. Please connect to a 12V lead acid battery. 1. Selected charging rate is too small for big battery; 1. Select higher charging rate and recharge; 2. 2. The battery condition is not good. Battery may be dead, check the battery condition. Replace battery if needed. Overtime Charging Reverse Polarity Clamps connected to wrong polarity. Correct the polarity be connected.
