OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

An automatic charger designed to
charge both normal and maintenance­free 6 V / 12 V starter batteries (lead­acid accumulators) as well as AGM /
lead-acid (MF, VRLA) batteries used in
cars.

The charger is controlled by a
microprocessor which, when the
accumulator is charged, switches the
charger automatically into a charged
mode where the microprocessor
maintains targeted charging without
overcharging or damaging the
accumulator.

In order to ensure safe and proper use
of the charger, this manual must be
thoroughly studied before use.

ź Only intended for charging lead-acid accumulators.
ź Always connect the accumulator first and then the

charger into the 230V mains.

ź Explosive gases – do not use open fire while

handling.

ź Provide adequate ventilation during charging.
ź Do not smoke, drink or eat while charging.
ź For indoor use only. Protect from moisture.
ź Protect from children.
ź Do not open the charger.
ź Do not shorten cables.
ź If the charger body or cable is damaged, the

product cannot be used.

ź Pay attention to the safety of use during use – risk

of electric shock.

ź When handling batteries, we recommend the use of

protective glasses, gloves and protective clothing.

ź In case of contact with the electrolyte, immediately

wash the affected area with plenty of water, if
necessary seek medical attention.

ź Never short the pole terminals.
ź Check the functionality of the device before each

use.

ź This device must not be used by persons (including

children) with limited physical, sensory or psychic
abilities or persons with a lack of experience in

Instructions for charging:

ź For batteries with cell closures, remove the cell

closures and check out the status of the battery
charging. If the electrolyte level is below the
recommended level, add distilled water.

ź For batteries without cell closures, carefully follow

the manufacturer's charging instructions.

ź Make sure that the vehicle's ignition is switched off

(if the accumulator is connected in the vehicle).

ź Connect the charger, always follow these steps:
ź Insert the positive clamp of the charger (red) to the

positive (+) terminal of the accumulator.

ź Connect the negative clamp of the charger (black)

to the negative (-) terminal of the accumulator.

ź Plug the 230V plug into the mains.
ź The charger begins to analyze the car battery, it

takes about 10 seconds.

ź The charger automatically detects if a 6V or 12V

accumulator is connected.

ź 6V mode.
ź 12V mode.
ź If the 12V battery is connected, the winter

mode can be selected with the MODE button.
Use this mode at temperatures below + 5 °C.

ź Poor polarity or short circuit indicator light -

disconnect the charger from the socket and
connect the battery correctly.

ź Indicates that the battery is charging.
ź When the accumulator is fully charged,

charging is interrupted, and charger switches to
maintenance mode where the microprocessor
controls pulse charging to keep the
accumulator in a charged state.

ź Always disconnect the charger from the 230V

mains and after then from the accumulator after
charging.

ź If you have opened the battery cell closures, you

must close them again.

Heavily discharged and damaged car batteries can
not be charged by using this charger. If the 12V car
battery voltage drops below 8V, the microprocessor in
the charger will mark the battery as damaged and will
not charge it!
If the 12V car battery voltage drops below an
acceptable level, the charger can evaluate this car
battery as 6V and will not charge it properly!
The manufacturer does not take responsibility for
accidents or damages resulting from non-compliance
with this manual.
Changes in text, design, and technical specifications
could be changed without previous warning and we
reserve the right to change them.

Do not dispose power tools and devices into the
household waste!
According to European Directive 2012/19 / EC on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
and in the enforcement of national law, used power
tools must be collected separately and shipped to an
appropriate recycling plant.
