WARNING
• Explosive gases. Prevent flames and sparks. Provide adequate ventilation during
charging.
• Before charging, read the instructions.
• For indoor use. Do not expose to rain.
• For charging lead acid batteries ONLY (of the size & voltage specified in the
specifications table).
• Disconnect the 240V mains supply before making or breaking the connections
to the battery.
• Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they
have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use
the appliance safely.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

FEATURES
Automatic Charger
An automatic battery charger stops charging when the battery is full. You can leave the charger
connected to the battery without risk of overcharging. Once the battery is full, the battery
charger will automatically start to maintain the battery. The charger monitors the battery
Voltage
and continues to top up the battery, keeping it fully charged and ready for use.
Thermal Overload/Polarity Protection
Prevents the output leads from sparking due to accidental reverse connection or short circuit
making the charger safer to use around batteries.
LED Charge Indication
Three LEDs display the charger’s status (except AC250B).
• RED LIGHT ON: Power On,
• ORANGE LIGHT ON: Charging,
• GREEN LIGHT ON: Fully charged and maintaining.
Wiring harness (AC150 & AC250B only)
The wiring harness allows for easy connection to vehicles that have hard to reach batteries.
Includes an inline fuse (AC150) to protect the harness from accidental short circuits.
‘On Board’ Battery Charging (AC250B only)
The AC250B ‘On Board’ charger allows the charger to be conveniently mounted on the vehicle
next to the battery. This is an ideal solution for vehicles left unused for some time. When the
vehicle is to be garaged, simply pop the hood and plug the charger in to a 240 Volt extension
cord. When the vehicle is to be used, disconnect the extension cord, close the hood and start
the engine, it’s that easy!
Multi Voltage (AC400 only)
Can charge either 6V or 12V batteries.
Engine Start (AC800 only)
When
time is short, this feature will deliver the battery a short yet powerful enough charge
to start the engine.
Toroidal Transformer (AC1000, AC1500 & AC600-24 only)
Using the latest technology in transformer design, toroidal transformers don’t use a solid iron
core (like traditional transformers) making them lighter and more compact. They deliver more
power than a traditional transformer charger of the same size.
