User’s Manual

Introduction

The SBC-8168 is a Switch Mode Battery Charger with MCU controlled charging. Maximum charge is

achieved through 4 stage charging (Precondition, Bulk, Absorption and Float charge stages). This

charger is suitable for 5AH-120AH 12V lead acid batteries including GEL and AGM. Another excellent

feature is a sealed splash and dust proof IP-55 rated polycarbonate casing.

**Please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions**

Features

1. 4 Stage Smart Battery Charger.

A. Pre charge – Battery analysis.

B. Bulk - Constant Current charge.

C. Absorption – Constant Voltage Pulse charge.

D. Float – Maintenance charge.

2. Motorcycle, Car, and Low Temperature (< 10°C) charge modes.

Plug in the charger to AC mains (100 - 240V) wall socket. The indicatiors light up one by one as charger goes through a series of self checks. Then all lights are on together and off to indicate the end of checks except the operation “Standby” indicator. Connect the red output lead to the positive terminal of the battery and the black lead to the negative teminal. The “Standby” blinks to indicate that charger is ready for selection of Charge Mode. User has 2 minutes to select the desired Charge Mode.

Check Mode and Normal Charging The Charger first checks the battery’s condition , for normal battery this indication extinguishes after a few seconds and charger enters into “Charge Mode” and finally to the “Float/maintenance Mode” when the battery is fully charged. Charging Stages Bulk : This charges the battery up to about 80% full. The charger delivers max 5A current for Car and Low temperature mode , 1.5A for Motor Bike Mode until the battery voltage rises to a set value .
