Charge monitoring and state of charge
WARNING : These are traditionnal chargers. The battery charge will require monitoring and the charge will stop when
the operator will set the switch to «OFF» or disconnect the charger from the mains
Once the battery is charged, the liquid (electrolye) contained in the battery will boil. When this starts, it is recommended
to stop the charge to prevent any damage to the battery.
Moreover, if the battery is connected to the vehicle (in-situ), a prolonged unmonitored charge may damage the vehicle's
on-board electronics. A sulfated battery that cannot be charged can potentially lead to damage of the on-board
electronics, as soon as the connection starts.
The end of the charge is when the anmeter's pin is indicated a value between 0 and 10 A, or by a charge time of 10 h.
Sealed battery
For a sealed battery, it is necessary to be extra careful. The charge must be performed while constantly monitoring
the voltage at the battery terminals. It is recommended to stop the charge when the voltage reaches 14.4 V for a 12 V
battery and 28.8 V for a 24 V battery. This voltage can be measured with a volmeter.
Charge
Once the charger is connected to the vehicle battery while following the instructions (see connections and disconnections),
For the START 200 and 300:
- Set the switch to CHARGE or BOOST 1 with regards to the battery capacity..
Warning : In Boost 1 mode, the thermal protection may activate if the battery is deeply discharged.
START 200
START 300
After use follow the recommended instructions for disconnection.
Charging several batteries simultaneously.
It is possible to charge several batteries simultaneously by connecting them in parallel. The positive terminals connected
to the red clamp and the negative terminals connected to the black clamp. These batteries or battery groups must be
of the same voltage, 12V or 24V.
Charging batteries in series is not recommended.
USE IN STARTER MODE
Preliminary precautions
• Do not disconnect the battery fom the vehicle. Connecting the battery can lead to the vehicle's memory loss and a
potential impossibility to restart it.
Starting
Once the charger is connected to the vehicle battery while following the instructions (see connections and disconnections),
it may be necessary to perform a precharge in order to start the vehicle. To perform a precharge, set the switch to
«BOOST».
Start 200
Start 300
To start the vehicle, set the switch to «START». Reach the vehicle controls. The «start» feature will activate when
the first attempt to start is initiated (by turning the key). This mode must be stopped once the vehicle is started. It is
recommended to do this with 2 people so that the person close to the START machine can switch to START at the exact
moment and stop the device once the vehicle has started.
If your engine does not start, wait 2 minutes between each start attempt. The attempt must last 3 seconds at most.
Nb : If the vehicle does not start, it may be a problem other than a faulty battery e.g. alternator, glowplug...
After the use, follow the disconnection procedure.
