Instruction
The unit is protected for awhile from short circuiting! Any short circuit which continues
over a minute must be avoided otherwise the transformer or the electronic within the
charger will be overloaded.
Security Information
In contrast to the simple battery chargers, the charging current from this automatic charger is
not a solid value because it depends on more factors. For example, the charge condition of the
battery, the age of the battery, the battery type and respectively the capacity of the battery.
In the following it depends also how far the battery was discharged.
If the battery is low the charger initially charges at a higher (max. 1 A / 2,5 A) then after a little
while the charger will charge at a lower voltage. This means with intense voltage at the battery
the charging current decreases.
This reaction is pictured in the diagram below:
When the charge is completed (the battery is full) the yellow LED („Laden“) lights.
It is possible to charge batteries with different capacities. For larger batteries the charge time is
longer, for smaller batteries the charge time is shorter.
Batteries may be charged whether they are weak or completely low.
The battery can also be continually connected to the charger but the temperature of the
environment should never be exceeded not drop below 20 –25 °C.
If the battery is inadvertently connected to the charger at the wrong pole/terminal then the red
LED light („Polarität“) will light and at the same time the flow of energy will be discontinued.
Operating the Unit
1. Connect to a 230 V AC
First plug the charger into 230 V outlet. The green LED „Netz“ lights.
2. Set voltage
Set the switch on either 6 V or 12 V depending on the type of battery you wish to charge.
3. Connect battery
Place the red clip of the charger to the positive pole/terminal
