PB-600 is MW's next generation smart charger. It has many of the protective features
that con s u m e rs woul d l i k e t o h ave in a cha r g e r i nclud i n g b a ttery mis c o n nectio n
(wrong voltage), reverse polarity, battery disconnection or not connected, and battery
fa ilure analy sis. The lat est hi g h eff iciency swi tchin g topo logy pl us microcon trol l er
po we r m a n a g e m e nt are utilized in its de s i g n . T hree types of cha rg i n g c u r v e s a r e
off ered for lead acid ba ttery charging, 2 stages for q uick chargin g, 3 stages (quick +
float ), an d 8 stag es fo r optimiz ed ch argi ng. Charg ing s tage sele ction can be easily
ma de by t he us er thr ough the selec tion switch on the fro nt pa nel.
Depending on battery brand and type (lead acid, gel, lithium iron, and lithium manganese);
th e b a t tery may re q u i re special c h a rging curv e s a n d adjustmen t t o the protec t i v e
functions which differs from the standard settings. The charging curves and protective
functions can be customized by reprogramming its firmware. Basically, you can change
the voltage/current settings of each individual stage plus adjust or cancel the protective
functions. Please not e, the fac tory chargi ng cu rve i s for c harging lead-acid battery.

1.Notes on operation:
◎Desig ned f or cha rgi ng lea d aci d battery.
◎Must be installed in a dry and well ventilated a rea. It should no t be exposed to rain
or snow.
◎Th e c a b l es between ch a r g er and battery sh o u l d be kept as shor t a s p ossible to
prevent excessive voltage drop. Too much voltage drop will lead to longer charging
perio d.
◎Pl e a s e m ake sure char g i n g v oltage and cu r r e nt meets batt e r y s p ecificati o n .
◎Ref r a i n from conne ct i n g n ew and old batt e r i e s in series.
◎Char g e r s hould be in the O F F m o de before mak i n g b attery connec t io n or disconne ct i on .
◎Thre e y e a r s warr a n ty is pro v i d e d unde r n o r mal op e r a ting c o n d i tio n s . F ailur e

PB-60 0 h a s a t ota l o f 3 c h a rgin g m o d es to cho o s e f rom, 2 s t a g es, 3 st a g e s, and
8 stages. 8 stages charging differ from 2 stages with the addition of pulse , soft start,
analysis, r econd ition, float, and maintain s tages . 2 stage s provide simple and quick
charging. 3 stages is similar to 2 stages with the exception of not shutting OFF aft er
the battery is fully charged. Lastly, 8 stages will allow charging to maximum capacity.
User ca n sel ect betwe en 2,3 or 8 sta ges depending o n the ir requirement.
6.1 2 sta ge ch arging (f lick s wit ch to "2" sta ge)
During initial charge (stage 1), charger will provide maximum current to the battery.
The built-in fan will also turn ON. As the battery starts to get full, charging current
