SAFETY

•THE CHARGER IS DESIGNED FOR CHARG­ING ONLY FOR BATTERIES ACCORDING TO
THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION. DO NOT
USE THE CHARGER FOR ANY OTHER PUR­POSE. ALWAYS FOLLOW BATTERY MANU­FACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS.

•NEVER TRY TO CHARGE NON RECHARGE­ABLE BATTERIES.

•CHECK THE CHARGER CABLES PRIOR TO
USE. ENSURE THAT NO CRACKS HAVE
OCCURRED IN THE CABLES OR IN THE
BEND PROTECTION. A CHARGER WITH
DAMAGED CORD MUST BE RETURNED
TO THE RETAILER. A DAMAGED MAINS
CABLE MUST BE REPLACED BY A CTEK
REPRESENTATIVE.

•NEVER CHARGE A DAMAGED BATTERY.

•NEVER CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.

•NEVER PLACE THE CHARGER ON TOP OF

THE BATTERY WHEN CHARGING.

•ALWAYS PROVIDE FOR PROPER VENTILA­TION DURING CHARGING.

•AVOID COVERING THE CHARGER.

•A BATTERY BEING CHARGED COULD EMIT

EXPLOSIVE GASSES. PREVENT SPARKS CLOSE
TO THE BATTERY. WHEN BATTERIES ARE
REACHING THE END OF THEIR LIFECYCLE
INTERNAL SPARKS MAY OCCUR.

•ALL BATTERIES FAIL SOONER OR LATER. A
BATTERY THAT FAILS DURING CHARGING IS
NORMALLY TAKEN CARE OF BY THE CHARG­ERS ADVANCED CONTROL, BUT SOME
RARE ERRORS IN THE BATTERY COULD STILL
EXIST. DON’T LEAVE ANY BATTERY DURING
CHARGING UNATTENDED FOR A LONGER
PERIOD OF TIME.

•ENSURE THAT THE CABLING DOES NOT
JAM OR COMES INTO CONTACT WITH HOT
SURFACES OR SHARP EDGES.

•BATTERY ACID IS CORROSIVE. RINSE IMME­DIATELY WITH WATER IF ACID COMES INTO
CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYES, SEEK IMME­DIATE MEDICAL ADVICE.

•ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE CHARGER HAS
SWITCHED TO STEP 7 BEFORE LEAVING THE
CHARGER UNATTENDED AND CONNECTED
FOR LONG PERIODS. IF THE CHARGER
HAS NOT SWITCHED TO STEP 7 WITHIN
55 HOURS, THIS IS AN INDICATION OF
AN ERROR. MANUALLY DISCONNECT THE
CHARGER.

•BATTERIES CONSUME WATER DURING USE
AND CHARGING. FOR BATTERIES WHERE
WATER CAN BE ADDED, THE WATER LEVEL
SHOULD BE CHECKED REGULARLY. IF THE
WATER LEVEL IS LOW ADD DISTILLED WATER.

•THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE
BY YOUNG CHILDREN OR PEOPLE WHO CAN­NOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THE MANUAL
UNLESS THEY ARE UNDER THE SUPERVISION
OF A RESPONSIBLE PERSON TO ENSURE THAT

THEY CAN USE THE BATTERY CHARGER SAFELY.
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
BEEN GIVEN SUPERVISION OR INSTRUC­TION CONCERNING USE OF THE APPLIANCE

*) Back current drain is the current that drains the battery if the charger is not connected
to the mains. CTEK chargers has a very low back current.
**) The quality of the charging voltage and charging current is very important. A high
current ripple heats up the battery which has an aging effect on the positive electrode.
High voltage ripple could harm other equipment that is connected to the battery. CTEK
battery chargers produce very clean voltage and current with low ripple.

STEP 1 DESULPHATION

Detects sulphated batteries. Pulsing current and voltage, removes sulfates from
the lead plates of the battery restoring the battery capacity.

STEP 2 SOFT START

Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents charging a defect battery.

STEP 3 BULK

Charging with maximum current until approximately 80% battery capacity.

STEP 4 ABSORPTION

Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% battery capacity.

STEP 5 ANALYSE

Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that can not hold charge may need
to be replaced.

STEP 6 RECOND

Choose the Ca/Ca program to add the recondition step to the charging program.
This step can also be selected separately by choosing the BOOST-program. During
the recondition step voltage increases to create controlled gassing in the battery.
Gasing mixes the battery acid and gives back energy to the battery.

STEP 7 FLOAT

This step maintains the battery voltage by providing a constant voltage charge. This
step can also be selected separately by choosing the SUPPLY-program and then it
is possible to select different voltage settings.

STEP 8 PULSE
