• Only then connect the battery charger's "+"
crocodile clamp (red) (7) to the "+" battery
terminal.
• Connect the "-" crocodile clamp (black) (6) to
the "-" battery terminal. Plug the car charger's
mains cable (9) into the mains socket.
Note: If the connector clamps are correctly
connected, the display will show the voltage and
"connected" will light up. If the poles are reversed,
the display will read 0.0 and "connected" will not
light up.
Disconnecting
• Disconnect the device from the mains.
• Remove the "-" crocodile clamp (black) (6)
from the "-" battery terminal.
• Remove the "+" crocodile clamp (red) (7) from
the "+" battery terminal.
• Reconnect the vehicle's positive connection
cable to the positive battery terminal.
• Reconnect the vehicle's negative connection
cable to the negative battery terminal.
Selecting the charging mode
You can charge a variety of batteries at different
ambient temperatures using different charging
modes. Compared to conventional car chargers,
this device features a special function for reusing
a drained battery/ rechargeable battery. You
can recharge a completely drained battery /
rechargeable battery. The safe charging process
protects against faulty connection and short-
circuits. The integrated electronics do not switch
the car charger on immediately after being
connected, but only after selecting a charging
mode. If the connector clamps connected to the
battery and the device is connected to power, the
digital display (10) will read "Connected". After
selecting a charging mode, the display will read
"Charging". Once charging is complete, the display
will read "Charged". A continuously lit display with
the battery not yet fully charged indicate a fault.
• In this event, verify if the connection clamps (6)
(7) are correctly connected to the battery and the
correct battery type is selected. If the display is
still continuously lit, the batter may be defective.

Digital display button (1):

Use to switch between the digital display of voltage
and charging progress in percent (Battery %). Use
this button to switch between the following displays:
- Battery %: Indicated the charging process for
the connected battery in percent.
- Voltage: indicated the voltage of the
connected battery.
- Alternator %: output power in percent.

Battery type button (2):

Use this button to set the battery type to be
charged. You can choose battery types. The
battery type must absolutely be correctly selected
before starting the charging process:
- 12 V Regular: these batteries (lead-acid
batteries) are typically used in cars, lorries
and motorcycles. They have vent caps and
are often labelled "low-maintenance" or
"maintenance-free". This battery type is
designed to quickly transfer energy (e.g.
starting an engine). "Regular" batteries should
not be used for "Deep Cycle" applications.
- 12 V Deep Cycle: These batteries are commonly
also labelled "Deep Cycle" or "Marine". This
type of battery is typically larger than other
battery types. It delivers less short-term energy
but transmit energy longer. These batteries
withstand numerous discharge cycles.
- 12 V AGM / Gel: The AGM battery type is
typically a good Deep Cycle battery. They
provide the best "life" when recharged before
being drained more than 50 %. When fully
discharged they withstand about 300 charging
cycles. The GEL battery type is similar to AGM.
The charging voltage is lower than for other
lead acid batteries. Using the wrong charger
for a gel battery will result in a reduction in
power or a shorter life.
- 6V regular: Select this mode for conventional
6V batteries.
Battery start button (3):
Use this button to switch between the following
options
- Fast charge: charges quickly (recommended in
low outdoor temperatures/winter)
- Normal charge: normal charging process
(normal speed)
- Start: Delivers :75 ampere to bridge a weak or
drained battery to jump start an engine.
