Safety Information
BENTON® ICEMAN 5.0 BLE charger is designed for charging 12V 1.2-160Ah
Lead-Acid rechargeable batteries. Do not intend to supply power to low voltage
electrical system. Do not use it for any other purpose.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A NON-RECHARGEABLE
BATTERY (PRIMARY CELLS).
Do not use the charger with a damaged cable. It must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified technician in order to ensure
safety.
Normally, a battery is grounded either, on negative or positive terminal to the
vehicle’s chassis. The charger’s DC Clips are to be connected to the battery
terminal not connected to the chassis first. The other connection is to be made to
the terminal connected to the chassis, far from the battery and fuel line. The
battery charger is then to be connected to the power supply.
After charging, disconnect the battery charger from supply mains. Remove the
chassis connection and the battery connection, respectively. This will reduce
back drain current.
During charging the battery must be placed in a well ventilated area.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.

OPERATION
Charging
1) Charging of a permanently installed battery in a vehicle
a) Before connecting or disconnecting the battery leads, the power cord should be
removed from the mains.
b) Check polarity of battery post. A positive (“+”) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than a negative (“-”) post.
c) Identify the pole of battery which is connected to the chassis (earth). Normally
the negative terminal is connected to the chassis.
d) Charging of negative earthed battery:
• Make sure the black clamp or eyelet terminal (“-” pole connection) has not
contact with the fuel line or the battery.
• Connect the red clamp or eyelet terminal (“+”) to the positive (“+”) pole of the
battery and the black clamp or eyelet terminal (“-“) to the vehicle chassis.
Page 6
e) Charging of positive earthed battery:
• Make sure the red clamp or terminal (“+” pole connection) has no contact with
the fuel line or the battery.
• Connect the black clamp or eyelet terminal (“-”) to the negative (“-”) pole of
the battery and the red clamp or eyelet terminal (“+“) to the vehicle chassis.
2) Charging of a battery not connected to a vehicle
a) Before connecting or disconnecting the battery leads, the power cord should be
removed from the mains.
b) Connect the red clamp or eyelet terminal (“+”) to the positive (“+”) pole of the
battery and the black clamp or eyelet terminal (“-“) to the negative (“-“) pole.
3) Connect charger to the mains.
4) Select charging mode
For Small batteries less than 12Ah
Press MODE button for 3 second to change charge from small batteries to normal
batteries
For normal batteries larger than 12Ah
By pressing MODE button several times combination of Cold charge and
BOOST charge options could be selected.
5) At step 4 battery is ready to use and step 7 it is fully charged.

Technical Data
* = Back current drain is the amount of current drawn by the charger from battery, when the charger is connected
to the battery, without power cord connected. BENTON® ICEMAN 5.0 BLE has extremely low back current
drain.

Charging Phases
BENTON® ICEMAN 5.0 BLE charger performs 8-step fully automatic charging cycle.
1) Diagnosis
The unique diagnostic function checks status of battery and ascertains if battery can
accept charging.
2) Recovery: A deeply discharged battery of over 2.0V can be recovered and charged
with pulse charging of small current.
3) Bulk : 80% of energy is returned in this phase with maximum charging current.
4) Absorption: With use of declining current charging up to almost 100% is achieved.
5) Analysis: Checks status of charge. If battery does not retain energy, it must be
replaced.
6) Boost: Recovers severely discharged batteries under high voltage charge.
Recommended to apply it at least once a year.
7) Float: Battery is fully charged and ready to use. The battery is maintained at maximum
level by applying low current charge.
8) Maintenance Charge: As charger continuously monitors the terminal voltage in
order to determine if a maintenance charging should be initiated to keep battery fully
charged.
