Australian designed,
engineered and
assembled batteries
Other features of the DC-DC charger include three (3)
switches:
Current Selection Switch
This switch allows you to select the amp charge rate from 10A
to 20A.
Most vehicle cigarette sockets on the dashboard are rated for
10A only. So, if you are using the 10A vehicle cigarette socket
to charge the lithium battery then select the 10A on the rocker
switch.
If your vehicle is fitted with a 20A connection, or you are
connecting directly to the start battery, then you can select the
20A charge setting on the battery.
Beware: If you select 20A when connected via a standard
cigarette socket, you may blow the fuse connected to that
circuit in your vehicle.
Direction Switch
This switch provides the ability to reverse the DC charge
direction (Out) so that the lithium battery can be used to
charge a flat vehicle start battery. The normal charge direction
(In) uses the vehicle alternator to charge the lithium battery via
the start battery.
Note – this feature is not intended to ‘jump start’ the starter
battery. It is a controlled charge (at the selected current based
on the switch, 10A or 20A). So, you might need to wait for
30-60 minutes before the start battery is sufficiently charged
to crank the vehicle engine, depending on how flat the start
battery is.
External Shunt Switch
An external shunt can be applied across the two (2) black
negative terminals to measure current in and out of the battery
for accurate state of charge measurement, including charge
current from the built-in DC-DC charger.
If an external shunt is applied, select Yes.
If there is no external shunt applied (which is the default
case) select No. This connects the 2 black negative terminals
together internally.
