• Switches automatically to maintenance charging when the battery is fully charged.

3. Functions

A. Re-setting

When the charger is connected to an electric socket it is automatically reset and
charging does not commence until you have started the charger manually.

B. <14Ah – Charge setting 1

Suitable for motorcycle batteries and other smaller batteries (14.4 V/0.8 A).

Setting 1 is to be used for batteries with a lower capacity than 14Ah. Connect the
charging clamps to the battery (red to + and black to -), then press [MODE] to select
the desired function and start charging.

• <14Ah flashes. If you do not press any button CHARGE will light up and charging
will commence at 0.8 A (+/-10 %).

• If everything is OK CHARGE will light up during the entire charging cycle until the
voltage reaches 14.4 V (+/-0.25 V).

• When charging is complete CHARGE will switch off and FULL will be lit.
Charging will switch to conservation charging.

C. >14Ah – Charge setting 2

Suitable for car batteries, regular batteries etc. (14.4 V/4A).

Setting 2 is to be used for batteries with a higher capacity than 14Ah. Connect the
charging clamps to the battery (red to + and black to -), then press [MODE] to select
the desired function and start charging.

• >14Ah flashes. If you do not press [MODE] again CHARGE will light up and
charging will commence at 4A (+/-10 %).
